I would have thought the shipping is cheaper on .ca isn't it? I'm not entirely sure. I live in the UK so i don';t know what currency is used in canada. USD i assume, so.. maybe amazon just have an office closer in canada compared to the one in the USA?

Maybe, thanks for answering back. but by the way in Canada we have our own currency CAD. too bad the amazon.ca doesn't seem to have as many products as amazon.com
