Just another reason to move to America

well its not like 1 dollar in american is the same as one dollar canadian. I guess it would suck if you bought online. someone told me that they could get the axioms alot cheaper from a dealer then they could online..

I'm tempted to say don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

There's a lot of good on both sides of the border, I don't have to live in canada but I choose to because I simply think it's the best place for me to be. I'm sure everyone has pride in their own country. The good thing is; if you choose to move there is nothing stopping you.

That is the single most disrespectful post i have seen on these boards yet surpassing even previous arguments.
Smarten up Hawkson.

Hmm...I just used this currency converter and those prices work out to be just about exactly the same.

What's the issue? $79 USD is $103.66 CAD. If it makes you feel better, just pay for your stuff with US dollars, rather than that money with the animals all over it.

True story on how I found out about Axiom: during surfing on various forums (esp.avsforum.com), I noticed that Axiom fans always seemed to be the most polite (Ascend fans were decent as well). I figured they must have something going for them, did some research, and I turned out to be correct.

good story.

I too have noticed that the Axiomites do seem to be the best mannered people on the web.

i was jk cheseroo
in fact if you look closely, axiom offers better deals for Canada then US. this is the only example of the exchange being better for the US

Last month I tried depositing a $20 check I got from Axiom (woo hoo!) for referring a successful sale of M22s to Dharmatone.

The check was returned to me because it was drawn on a foreign bank, even though it was in US dollars. D'oh! Anyone know where i can get it cashed?

I'm sure there's a few places in my neighborhood...

You have one of their affiliate program links on your website?

I didn't find the original post funny at all. As kidding goes, those types of statements are simply aggravating, not entertaining.
Your humour needs some polishing, like with a steel scrub pad.
(Notice the good example of 'kidding' humour and how it can be offensive).

Peter, see if Amie will take the cheque back and issue you a money order instead.
If your bank will not cash a money order in USD from a foreign bank (especially a Canadian one), then i suggest finding yourself a new place to do financial business.

update-Canadians don't have it so bad afterall

Bookshelves
M2i $255 ($340 Cnd) ------ awsome exchange rate:)
M3ti $275 ($360 Cnd) -----


and they are pretty good at hockey too:)

edit-cheseroo-alright. understood. are you Canadian per chance?

I don't think it was ever "officially" announced, but according to Amie, anyone signed up to host in-home auditions will be treated as an affiliate if a successful (i.e. non-returned) sale results.

Wow, Chess, I can't believe you took offense at that original post. It's not like he gave any of the real reasons why it sucks to be Canadian:)

What, like having a big unruly neighbor to the south?

ha!

Big and unruly are good qualities... except in women.
Seriously though, I don't get all the fuss about Canadian and U.S. relations. Most of us down here kind of consider Canada as like another state.

Just kidding. God save the Queen and all that, mate!

HaHa!!!! Will, the "like another state" was hillarious. Good show.

If you can't laugh at yourself.......

trade it back in for a gift certificate.

LOL - I was just thinking the same thing - gift certificate city! That's weird that they wouldn't cash the cheque - it's in US dollars, isn't it? I guess we're too far away! Drop me a note and we'll see what we can do.
