Actually, you would need a US billing address and US issued credit card as well. I'm sorry!

I think it's going to be very few, actually. Though it seems that they're ramping up production so it should not be too long after this first run that more come.

I don't think London Drugs carries the Klipsch phones now, although they are definitely a Klipsch dealer for, e.g., home theatre speakers. The same is true for Best Buy AFAIK.

I look forward to the first glowing reviews of the Custom-3 and then possibly picking a pair up locally.

My only request is that Klipsch sets the MSRP equally on both sides of the border!

+1

If ths MSRP is 1.5x or more than US, I would rather buy from US and willing giveup warranty. Heck, it is very likely that I can get 2 set from US for the price of 1 in Canada.

What is the rate normally for a product? I don't even know the exchange rate these days. I assumed just about everthing had a different price when the border changed, in any direction for that matter.

Maybe someone could have better example then this. I tried searching the net, it's around US $480 - $500 to get AKG K701 from (assuming) authorized dealer in Canada.(after tax & shipping). You can get the same thing with headroom for $339.95(shipped to Canada). and not to mention Ebay or head-fi which is even less.

The USD & CND are basically EQUAL right now, yes sometimes the CND will go above, and then the USD will go above but they are essentially equal.

This question is for Amy or the Professor only! Will the Custom-3 start selling in Web store today "Monday 2-4-2008"?

I think manufacturers have finally started to align their prices with the exchange rate. For example Toyota Canada just last week slashed all their sticker prices in Canada.

An AKG dealer price in Canada would likely be more than Headroom because HR discounts certain products below the MSRP to compete with other Internet retailers.

My buddy was in Bellingham, WA yesterday for Super Bowl and stopped at Costco and Best Buy to compare prices (mostly looked at electronics I think). He said everything was pretty much the same as the Canadian prices except booze and butter. You can thank the taxation levels for the difference on those two.

I had hoped so, but we are waiting on one small detail. I sincerely hope to see these roll out tomorrow.
I'm sorry about all the delays!

 

[Fud]

Has the newsletter come out yet Amy? I don't want to miss out on any offers, and I think I'm on the mailing list already.

Thanks for reply and status Amy. I call Klipsch today and talked to Derrick, he should get a raise cause he wouldn't tell me a thing. LOL

Looks like another day where I keep hitting refresh on the "how to buy" section over at the Klipsch website.

Ugh, I'm so sorry guys. Still in a holding pattern.... Trust me, it's the smallest of details and has nothing to do with the product itself...
