Wondering if it's worth getting these if I'm in Canada. It would come up to 247.61$ US with shipping for me so about 305$ Cnd. I did some research, and I can't find them for a better price, but I also saw a comment from someone here at Massdrop saying that JBL came out with an upgraded version, the JBL 305p MKII. Would it be better for me to just wait for the regular JBL LSR 305 price drop? I'm on the fence too has, just this month, I bought a Micca Origen G2 and the HD6XX, I only have so much money you know :P
BlaklyteTVThis is a great price for the pair. Also the MKII (newer version) will be $219 CAD (or more) each. Not sure what the advantage is of the MKIIs are over the LSR 30X but I live in Toronto and used a cross border agency to deal with the brokerage and duties and paid $28 CAD in addition to the $225 CAD. i paid $253CAD All in. These speakers sound amazing and are a steal for $253 CAD. Not sure if the MKIIs are worth the higher premium price tag.
BlaklyteTVI used a cross boarder pick-up company. They deal with brokerage fees and duties on your behalf. Then you pay them a fee. It’s based on weight. Purolator, UPS, fedex, DHL, etc... all have hidden fees for cross border shipments and they all vary. That‘s where they can ding you on high fees that are hidden in their “brokerage fees”.
BlaklyteTVgoogle “cross boarder pickup companies”. They give you a US address. Free shipping to US address. Then the company will ship it to their central pick up depot in Mississauga in Ont (they also have different depots for each prov. and you can save shipping fees or they can ship it to your home for additional shipping costs). I chose to pick it up. You pay $179.99 USD from massdrop. Then the cross border company will charge you a seperate fee for duties/customs/brokerage. In addition to their fee. Which is in CAD. Massdrop ships to a US address and you deal with the cross border company from there. This way you save much more money bc the extra fees are in CAD as opposed to USD
LImuelAwesome thanks, I did register with one, I just don't know how it works exactly. I guess I ask massdrop to ship to the address that the other website gave me but then how to they know that it's mine once they get the package.
BlaklyteTVthat is correct. massdrop will it to your US Address provided by the company, then from that US address you can ship it to your house. it's much cheaper.
LImuelIt;s getting shipped to Fedex right now, I received my tracking number, Do I have to click the Hold at Location button so that fedex leaves it at that location?
BlaklyteTVNo don't click it man. Mine is in new Jersey right now. I guess if I click the hold at location button. They will hold it in New Jersey. Anyway, have you read about the hissing problems in reddit? They say it's normal and can be fixed by some equipments.
Add me on Facebook if you want to talk about it. Mine will arrive in California feb 5, 2018. I'll let you know what happens there
Look for me in facebook
