After buying a brand new EdgeSelect Electric Knife Sharpener off of E-Bay I want to say, "Don't write off mail order". I saved $50 even though Canada Post takes their $8 - $9 cut delivering it. I like supporting local businesses, but I also like to look out for number 1, me. Check E-Bay, it's easy to do.

They do deliver to Canada, but I would be responsible for the duty once it hit the border and, in past experiences, the duty has sometimes added up to more than half the cost of the item purchased. It just seems easier to find it locally where the price quoted is the final price - no surprises.
