Question for Canadians

Post by Boo » Thu May 01, 2008 1:00 pm

How easy - or hard - has it been to import machines from the US?

The reason I ask is that I have two quotes for an APAP/Humidifier combo here that have produced "sticker shock" to say the least. I can order the same machine here from CPAP.COM for less than what my deductible will cost here in BC.

Thanks in advance.

sorry, i haven't purchased a machine from cpap.com but i have ordered a couple of masks, no worries, no hassles

if it's going to be cheaper for you, i say go for it, but that's just me

My M series auto from cpap.com arrived in less than 2 weeks with a shipping cost of under $20. Way to easy,and don't let the local suppliers scare you with wild stories of extra duty,shipping ,different equipment than they are selling you,the great support they offer ( which can't compare to the help you will get here)
