Hmmm.... They don't tell you what shipping costs before you confirm your order?

Whatever you do, DO NOT let people ship to you from the US via UPS Ground (aka UPS Standard) - you will get nailed with an exhorbitant (around $25-$30Cdn) brokerage fee for the privilege of them clearing the item through Customs.

Ditto that. I had a $100US item shipped to me, and was nailed by UPS with an $80CDN charge when it arrived.

In addition, I have dealt with Meritline in the past and their service was very good. I had the item shipped to the US, so I'm not too sure about shipping costs to Canada.

Lucky for me. My aunt just recently moved to the states about an hour away from home so I'll just ship stuff to her and pick them up on a weekend. YEY! :mrgreen:

Yes, please let us know how it works. I'm seriously considering switching from my Sandisk SDIO Wi-Fi card, because it keeps draining my pda to only be usable for 1.5 hours
Good luck!

Yes, please do keep us informed on how the buying experience and on how the card functions. I've just about had it in waiting for Linksys to update their CF driver for WM2003

I was holdign out for a SDIO WiFI card but dont like how they are currently designed. At $31 this is a bargin.

Will let you guys know what happens.. They quoted $30+ for UPS Standard to Canada, so I am shipping to my friend in the US.

Anyone know if MiniStumbler will work with this card?
