Alberta has no taxes now?
Here in Saskatchewan we pay 10% so $825 plus tax is $907.
$907-$750= $157 savings

Each to there own!

We only pay 5% here in Alberta. So it would be $116.25 + the cost of shipping it from you say $50 so really $66.25

Look at using Canada Post or DHL (insured). May be cheaper. I'm sure the box is well protected already with padding.
