OWC ram and duty fees

I've heard OWC ram is very good. But I'm in Canada, and I'm wondering what type of duty fees I'd be hit with if I order from OWC? What are other peoples experiences?

MACBOOK 2.0GZ, 1.25GBs RAM, 60GB HD, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Caspin: I thought it would be appropriate to pass on some shopping advice to a fellow Newfoundlander. I ordered my extra ram online from Canada Ram at their website; http://www.canadaram.com/ They have an online selector to configure the correct ram. They shipped to me within a couple days. I am on vancouver Island, I believe they are as well, so not a long distance to ship. It was good service, and if I remember correctly, it was also a good price. Maybe give them a look. Happy shopping.

And I will add on some more shopping advice... TigerDirect.

This is a website/online shopping store that has a few select actual real stores in Canada and the USA. The Canadian ones are in Ontario (all near Toronto pretty much) and the US in Illinois and Florida I think. But there are 2 websites, www.tigerdirect.com and www.tigerdirect.ca and after doing the money conversion, they both seem to have basically the same prices (which can be really cheap).

They are the best place IMO to purchase any kind of electronics and accessories in general (I also got my refurbished iBook G3 from them in Sept that came with a year warranty from the company that refurbished it) and while they do mostly stick to PC items, you can find things that are both PC and Mac compatible (including RAM), and they sell some RAM that is "made specifically for macs" if you prefer to go that route. They also have various Apple iPods for sale (new and refurbished) and occassionally will have a select amount of Refurbished Macs (usually older laptops like the iBooks) for sale.

It's a great site, I buy all my stuff from them and anything else usually from Amazon (when I am buying a bunch of other stuff from Amazon anyways and if they have about the same prices).

Happy Boxing Day from a fellow Canadian (I have been in the US for almost exactly 10 years now, so I really do need to go back and visit Toronto again soon).
