Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Online stores that ship to Canada (HK receiver)

Hi Winterpeg,

I bought my denon 4802r from crutchfield.com for 1499 U.S.

When all was said and done I got a 5 year extended warranty and they shipped it to the borderstore ( about 1/2 hour drive from my house). They didn't ship to Canada but would honor the warranty. Because Thunder bay is so close to the border, it worked out for me.

I even gave our local shops the option to come "close" to the price I was getting on-line. The best I could get was 3300 cdn BEFORE taxes @ 15% and also before any extended warranty.

My final online price after exchange, 5 year warranty, tax at the border, and gas money to go for a drive was under 2400 cdn. It IS crazy the way that these places won't deal. I would have paid more to buy it in town but they wouldn't even try to get my business. One place laughed at the idea of buying speakers on-line when I could listen to his nuance speakers (listed at 12k) but this week the sales rep would let them go for 4000. I bought my speakers (obviously)online as well as my receiver and I could not be happier.

Makes me wonder if i could have gotten a better deal on a TV!

Anyways sorry for the rant.... I don't think crutchfeild sells H/K , but Etronics is a similar E-tailer, and I found crutchfeild's sales rep on the phone very freindly and quite patient with all of the questions i had. (MUCH like the folks at Axiom)

Good luck!!

J&R is selling the HK 7300 for $1300 and they are an authorized online dealer for HK.

Here's the link

Here's the link for list of HK authorized online dealers. It comes form the Canadian HK site, so HK might honour the warantee. Might want to contact them to find out.

I also noticed J&R offers an extended warantee option for about $60. I wonder if that would cover a Canadian purchased product.

But as you said, without a warantee and at something like a $1200-1400 savings, even if you had to pay for a repair you'd likely still be way ahead.

By the way, the 7300 looks like one bitchin receiver.
Good luck - Paul

Thanks for the help, gents.

In the end the money saved will allow me to add a little "top up" in the speaker department. Maybe an extra set of QS8's for the rear and possibly help upgrade to the EP500.

I'm still tossing between the M80's and M60's as well!

Any which way you look at it, it's a win -win situation!

Thanks again,
Troy

Go to Amazon.com. JR is their outlet for the HK. $1299. They'll ship anywhere.

Hi!
I bought my 7300 last Christmas from etronics(50% off).They work with Borderfree and when you order on line you get the final price.(there are no fees other than PST).
Excellent service overall.
The receiver is amazing!
P.S.Hard to find a stand(rack) to accomodate it.I've got one from Best Buy but I had to put the receiver on the top shelf, the only one wide enough.
Good luck!

Also had the same problem few months ago. I went to futureshop and got to match the HK235 on JandR I think which is an authorized dealer. I got the sales person to go to J&Rs website . He couldn't believe the price difference. At the end they couldn't match the price but got a discount due to different warranty. Retail was $899.00 plus tax. I paid $600.00 including tax. I thought that was a steal.
