LOL. A little while ago, they were trying enter into the Canadian market for a while and finally got things rolling. Pretty competitive prices from what I can tell, though they do charge 13% tax.

i was actually happy to see if, Newegg was always the one stop shop in the US market, and the "we don't ship to Canada... EVER" kind of deal always got me down when dealing with Ncix/tigerdirect.

Now at least they have another competitor that will give them a run...

No reason not to use NCIX since they always accept my price matches.

So, you asked them to price match a US retailer?

how'd that work out for you?

Um no, the prices must be in CDN $.

Although, for the system that I built for my daddy-o, they accepted my $199 price match for the Q6600. Only thing is, the link was for the US Tigerdirect site, so I cheated them out without noticing. I tried the same link again for my Q and they counter-offered with $239. Original price was $261 :shrug:
