Elektron Musical Instruments

Does anyone here live in Canada?
If so, did you purchase a MnM?
How much did it cost for you to get it into Canada.
Was their any problems with customs?
How much was the duty fee's?
In the end, what was the grand total that you paid?

Answers to these questions would greatly help with my purchase in the
near future.

Thanks in advance for anyone of your responses.

Mr. E

just bought the tabletop one a couple weeks ago, delivered to vancouver 
island.  after the 1350 for elektron, i had to pay another 215$ or 
thereabouts to mr. taxman.

PS: its totally worth it.

The electron page shows http://www.stevesmusic.com as a reseller in canada,
and they look like they ship. I wonder if Mr. E can avoid that charge if he
bought it from there. Although I know nothing about Canadian taxes.

Thank you for the responses.
I'll contact "steves music" for more info on the shipping.

Mr. E

I attempted to get a MD through Steve's Music, but a) the price was 
CA$1900 or so (plus provincial and federal tax), and b) they didn't 
have any in stock.

So I took the plunge and ordered from Elektron at US$1250.  The 
import charges from UPS were about CA$240 or thereabouts, so in the 
end I saved by orderding direct.  It only took a few days to arrive, 
too.
