Hi @noopsyche
i'd like to make you aware that shipping your products to canada using DHL, UPS, FEDEX etc incurs significant extra cost for your canada customers. For example, i've ordered a k7 mini, which is about 100$ + 11$ shipping. The problem is the import tax. Which isn't bad as we only have to pay federal sales tax, which came out to $6.86, but the real kicker is the brokerage fees. 35$CAD for UPS to pay that $6.86 tax.
I strongly recommend that something be put in place for canadian customers. One solution is to ship using USPS, which forwards to canada post and they only charge $10 brokerage fees. Another solution would be to arrange shipping from inside canada.
I really like your lights. I'm sure others will too, but it really sucks to get a bill of 50% of your purchase value on the day of delivery.
