Anyone here able to do me a favor and order me one from one of these shops with good prices and just ship them to me in the Philippines? I'll pay in advance via paypal

@f00fighters: I don't think that matters, since I just checked, and it looks like they're out of stock right now.

@donunus: I would love to, but I know Headphone Solutions and their 40% coupon is dead, and now with RMC Audio out of stock, I can't think of any other seller that has them for a low price. Plus, I can only pay by Paypal in this situation.

hmm, wow if your willing, getting it from j&r or full compass for their price range of 140 to 160 dollars would be great then i'll add around 50 or so dollars for shipping to the Philippines and were set

i read somewhere maybe earlier on this thread that the price for the 840s at full compass when calling the 800 number came out to 142.50. I'm sure J&r matches prices too

Also curious as there seems to be a range of different, mutually exclusive deals that Flavio & Co. have been offering. Cheers!

There was indeed brokerage fees, which is unavoidable really since this is new item crossing the border with fedEx. However, he did give me the $160 deal which is like free shipping on the regular price, and brokerage fees wasn't that much of a hit. I'll send you a pm later on how you can get flavio to help you with that. Needless to say though, even after paying regular price after everything I find thes cans well worth it.

You must be correct because Shure has flooded the market with the 840 and there are so many reviews comparing the two.

And who wants quality materials? Certainly nobody on Head-Fi cares about quality materials!

I know you don't pay brokerage fees with UPS Worldwide Expedited/Express. You do have to pay sales tax when receiving the item though. Maybe that is what you had to pay?

You need to push harder to have NCIX carry these!!!

Is there anywhere in Canada carrying them yet?

Haven't seen it. But RicHSAD made a thread on the NCIX product request forum section. I've also posted in his thread requesting these. If there is enough support they may carry them? Otherwise, we'll just be stuck importing. Bestbuy/Futureshop do carry all the IEM's by Shure, so maybe at some point they will carry them. But they don't have the best pricing in the world either.

Oh it's been bumping alright . Hopefully NCIX will actually get these.

Well I just called Full Compass, and they can do Paypal, but you have to call them yourself, since they can only ship to whatever address is linked to the Paypal account. I don't see anything on their website saying that they CAN'T ship worldwide, so I reckon it's worth a try.

EDIT: Oh, and they're out of stock anyway, and won't get a re-stock until around mid-August.

I think the main reason that I don't really see Best Buy/Futureshop carrying these in the future is that the top two models, 440 and the 840, are more geared towards the Pro Audio audience rather than the consumer audience. I can definitely see them carrying 240's in the future as that's more targeted towards general consumers, but not the 840's... Perhaps places like Steve's music, Cosmo Music, etc. will start carrying them in the near future. Plus I've contacted Bay & Bloor Radio out of curiousity and they said that while they're not completely sure yet, it's very likely that they'll carry these in the future as well.

Wow, looks like I made it in just under the buzzer...In addition to the price increase, an RMC Audio rep told me they changed the "5% off" coupon this morning to apply to orders over $299 only...but he was kind enough to discount my prior order.

I still think it would be worth your time to get a "best price" quote from RMC Audio on these cans, though (which is accomplished easily enough either by calling or clicking the "Best Price" button)...My thinking is they mistakenly listed their best price on their website, when they should have been showing the minimum advertised price allowed by Shure ($199? Seems consistent with every other authorized reseller) and disclosing the discounted price by special request only.

But they carry SE530's... And those apparently "pro" Dre. Beats @ the 349.99 price point. There is really no excuse for them not to carry these.
