And I'm Sorry To Hear About Your Troubles With Ebay Heinz.  >:(
That's Very Horrible. And I Know Some On Ebay Are Not So Good People.
But Not All Of Them Are. You'll Have Pretty Good Luck If It's A Top Rated Seller.  :tu:
I Always Deal With Top Rated Sellers If Possible. If Not, I Deal With 99% + Good Feedback.
You Just Have To Be Careful Who You Deal With.
I Think All The Links I Sent Are Top Rated Sellers Or 99%+ Good Feedback.
Buying Things Can Be So Confusing.  :ahhh

Really I'd Just Go With What Option You Feel Is Best For Yourself.  :tu:

 :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
^^^ Just Because.  :D

I checked Cutlery Shoppe, and they do ship to Canada, but only if the order is $100 or more, and the Sage happens to be $100.80  I'll check to see what the shipping fees are.

caledon2 on ebay has them for $113 + $13 for shipping.  One good thing is, it's already in Canada, so I wouldn't have to worry about any possible custom fees.

I buy quite a bit of stuff for my RC trucks on ebay, and have been lucky so far with no problems at all.  Most of the people I buy from have over 40000 feedback with 99.9 - 100% positive.

That's crazy what you had to go through Heinz, and I do know people that have had really bad experiences on ebay also.  Fingers crossed my luck holds true!

I Would Personally Use Ebay.
I Was Told Cutleryshoppe's Shipping Is $8 Or $9 Here In The US. So $100.80 + $9 For Here You're Ending Up Spending Around $110.
And I'd Imagine It'd Be More Shipping For Canada.
And $110 - $126 For A Knife That Sells For Low To High $90's Is Just A Lot To Me.

B-chickie... Derek, just to clarify; it's not the sellers on the Flea that have been the issue for me so much... only had problems like that very rarely.  It's the way the site itself sets up its billing and credit practices that I find to be even lower than contemptible and detestable.

I can't say anything about shipping costs to CA, but here in the U.S. I've never paid more than $6 - $8 from Jeff for USPS priority mail.

Again, whatever you feel most comfortable with... YMMV of course.  I just wanted to pass on that so far I've gotten awesome service from Cutlery Shoppe, and his prices on Spydies in particular are better than any other big online seller like Knifecenter, GP Knives, etc.

You CAN NOT compare online shopping between the US and Canada.  There are a few, very, very few sites that will ship via First Class Mail (with a price range of what you're quoting), but mostly it's going to be some form of tracked shipping and to Canada from the US that generally starts at $15 and goes north from there.  This adds quite a bit to the cost of purchasing.

eBay often ends up being the best option because you can complain about excessive shipping fees to eBay and get part of your payment refunded.

Ah, Well Ebay Has Done Some Things Wrong, But Over All They're Pretty Good.

And I Think Ebay Is Your Best Bet With International Shipping And All Derek.  :tu:
Like I Said I Wouldn't Want To Pay $110+ For A Knife I Can Get For Under $100.
That's Just Me. In The End, It's Up To You.

And Yes Shipping Here From A Website And Shipping To Canada From A Website Vary Quite A Bit.
