Supposedly Visions is carrying the F90. I think FS and BB only carry the 700/900?!

I haven't heard anyone having them either. What stores will be selling the F90?

 

PM if you don't want to post - I'm in Calgary too.

 

The place I called was Audio Concepts on 32nd Ave NE. I checked Visions and Soundsaround last week and the sales guys there didn't even know of the F series existed even though they do carry other Pioneer head units. I'm sure they will be getting them (maybe not the 90) but most likely at least the 700 or the 900 cause they did have the D3.

 

I've also been monitoring Future Shop and Best Buy and I just noticed today Future Shop dropped the price of the D3 by $200 bucks. It's down to $700 so I think they are getting ready to get the F series in just not listed on their site as yet.

Sweet! When you heard from AC let me know! If all the BS can be fixed I'm 1000% in for an F90.

My local dealer here in Montreal, called me to tell me that Pioneer will be shipping it out in Canada in about two weeks, because they are fixing a few software problems.

Sounds good! Is that for the F90 too? Can these software problems be referring to the bugs on the systems now?

Yeah no doubt. They know now that if they don't give us equal pricing we'll just send our orders state side. I don't know of anyone having any of the units here in Calgary. Guy from one store said he has no ETA or pricing info on them. So it could be very well the end of the month as one of the previous posters stated.

Nice! I'm in Calgary but don't have the foggiest who deals with the F90?!

Canada shipping probably runs into big pioneer distribution trouble ... he may not be able respond and keep his license.

 

additionally, customs taxes would likely kill you.

 

Why would he get into trouble? I order stuff from the US ALL THE TIME!

 

Also, custom won't kill us if it is shipped USPS and declared as a warranty replacement or a gift!

Unfortunately we can not ship to Canada because contractual agreements with our vendors allowing U.S sales only. All of our vendors already have agreements with distributors up in the Canadian market, so it's hands off for us. Sorry, we wish we could help you guys up there out, but we can't do it.

Thanks anyways

Well if it has to be disguised as a gift or warranty replacement the obviously he will get in trouble for selling it straight up. and a few sales is not worth the legal trouble, the government trouble, or losing your business. If something goes wrong he has more to lose than just one radio. So your last sentence answered your second sentence.

 

Also if that is what your are doing and have been doin, quit advertising that in a post on the internet, it's not hard to trace and IP or MAC address.

It is always up the company if they want to be border friendly. Shipping via USPS without any "questionable" stuff is very good to us Canadians. I don't see what is so difficult about my placing an order with a company and them shipping it with a Canadian address vs. an American one. Sure 99.9% of us ask to ship USPS so that the brokerage fees are reasonable and not $40 on a $25 item which is the usual case when shipping UPS.

It seems that American's think Canada is some hell hole and shipping across the border is to be avoided like the plaque

Business is business and due to the fact that only a few companies ship across the border it makes it tough to find good deals on particular items. On this forum alone interest from Canadians seems to be high so it would be worthwhile to ship to us.

I'm in for the F90! But don't mind waiting until the problems get ironed out. I think about 1 month!!

Finding the bugs and problems can be half the fun

 

As long as someone works on them I don't mind finding them!!

 

F90 for sure. Other than the issues I love this thing. I was happy with the Z2 beforehand but this will rock once its all ironed out.

With that in mind and since I haven't ordered yet (vendors aren't that kind to us North of the 44th) should I wait a month or so for a new batch or bite the bullet now and hope a firmware comes out?

I'll ask again... no shipping to Canada 100%?!?!

Maybe I will call you guys tomorrow?

I know the F90 just came out but which one would you guys go with?

Pros and cons please!

Is there NO way you guys are willing to ship to Canada?

As an aside: can you switch between miles and kms?

PLEASE SHIP TO CANADA!!!!!!

I'm in Alberta! Screw the Ontario guys! haha!
