As recommended by so many here, have you guys ever got slapped with extra duty and taxes at the border when ordering ?

It does have some items that I can buy .

Can also try TigerDirect.ca - have a whack of cables in the under $49 etc... they have some in the $200 + price range but those are 60/65 foot cables.

Not a big deal why is treated like a crime when free enterprise makes a profit?
The margin on the TV itself is so low they need to recover on something else and they usually have a selection from low to high end cables anyways. I do not see why there is such a big outrage about this.

There is outrage because people are lead to believe that there is a huge difference in quality.

False claims supported by the whole supply chain, pushed heavily by retailers (hard sell). no wonder people are pissed

The margin on the TV itself is so low they need to recover on something else and .......................... I do not see why there is such a big outrage about this.

The fact is, the big box stores are the ones that created the situation where there is no margin,,,,,, there is nothing wrong with them charging whatever they feel like, as the traffic will bear so to speak,,,,,,, but, when the salepeople are outright lying and making false claims, that is an issue that deserves outrage ........
