So I've been looking to get the Astro's for some time now, and yesterday I finally went ahead and ordered them.. go to Checkout and see that shipping is ether gonna be $67 through USPS... or $69 through UPS with the duties prepaid.. Now, I've ordered over $400 worth of clothing from Jinx, who also operates in California, and had it shipped to my home here in Ontario, and paid nothing close to that for shipping or in duties. I know it is not Astro's fault for this, but maybe a better solution could be found.
(Also UPS took my 4 day shipment and turned it into a week.. wondering if that's a normal thing :S)
I personally despise UPS. I don't know if i can help with the shipment price, but i could assume since you live in Canada, the shipping is going to be A LOT more then if you were in the US.

Hi Nobes,
We're apologize for the high duties, that's just what happens when you have a premium product shipping to outsde the US. Trust us, we're most definitely looking for a solution to this.
Thanks for your patience and understanding,

I have to agree it cost nearly an extra hundred bucks to get my system over to me in Australia, I take so careful care of my system I shudder at the shipping costs of sending anything over for repair it makes me treat my equipment better than i do myself.

Hi Guys,
Unfortunately, there really is no time frame for us to find turstworthy and solid distribution channels in Canada and Australia. We're working on it and hopefully we can figure something out in the near future.
Please let me know if you guys have any more questions!

Yeah having it delivered here in AUS hurt my wallet and nearly made me swell a tear in my manly eyelids. But it did deliver fast, ordered Thursday and received them Monday so that was good.
Just wish it didn't cost so much to send.
