"Besides, why buy something made in Canada, to have it shipped to New Jersey, only to have it shipped back to Canada?"
And then you explicitly expect them to provide that service, AND charge less, AND add freebies.
While Massdrop probably gets most of revenue from US, it's model and practices shines most when you're importing. But if you yourself DECIDE to import a local products... they're not going to discourage you, because they're a business, but that's ones personal failure.
When you look at Massdrop from POV of a citizen of US or Western Europe, it's a site that ships some niche gadgets at prices generally in "bargain" range. Sometimes it's not the cheapest option, but you're certainly not going to overpay.
From POV of someone from a less affluent country, Massdrop is an exporter for all kinds of neat, small sized items a techy nerd would want, but ones generally not sold or sold at ridiculous markups in their own country. In Poland, you don't shop for a mechanical keyboard by bargains, but by which shop offers a keyboard you want in the switch you want. Most vapes are just not available, even Solo is hard to come by, and it's such a basic and popular one.
So while your logic is sound, I have more sympathy for Massdrop team than for confused Quebecois ;-)
Thanks for clearing that up for the community.
Let it be known that purchasing products from their country of origin may have certain benefits associated with it.
While I understand your frustration I am pretty sure you got your point across. Can we move on with a more constructive product discussion.
A lot of us at Massdrop are Canadian, myself included. Comments like these certainly make me feel rather embarrassed :(
But you don't speak for all Canadians and neither do I ......but I would be willing to bet that most Canadians would be ashamed of your attitude.......especially those who are feeling mellow and would prefer to get along with the rest of the world.......especially our neighbours to the south.
Most people who are "chill" are of the live and let live variety .........just do some research and buy where it makes the most financial sense. I didn't buy from Massdrop for this item as I live in Toronto and with the exchange I could get it cheaper locally. But I have bought other items on Massdrop that I couldn't get locally or at as good a price.
No need to get insulting about passing on a deal if that is the intent......otherwise the only other thing you might be accomplishing is trying to make someone feel bad about their shiny new Solo when they should be happy to have a nice new toy to play with.
I am not insulting you by way of this reply but just trying to put things into perspective. If you enjoy attacking people for the sheer joy of it, I am sure that I will hear from you. Otherwise let's all just load another stem and chill : )
BTW $120-$160 an oz.......sorry but not if 1 oz is all you are buying......those are bulk pricing for QP and up......otherwise you are getting it straight from a grower friend.......but not a realistic price to communicate to others when the reality is more like $200 to $240 CA depending on who you know and how nice it is.
Actually 28.375 to be exact. Also, that TorV site you are schilling for.......the Zeus grinders are crap.....absolute crap! I bought my Solo from there and they pawned off crappy vinyl caps as real Solo caps.....which they have since changed. But I did get their Zeus grinder......even upgraded to their premium Vortex version .......and it is a piece of junk compared to my Sharpstone.
If that is your idea of quality........ you are talking out of your butt.......which really doesn't inspire any confidence in your other claims.
BTW.....I think your caps lock got stuck their for a minute.....that implies yelling; and trust me buddy, you would not be yelling at me in person......so why not be a little less confrontational over the net.....you are impressing no one.....actually I would hazard a guess that most are less than impressed to put it mildly. I'm done wasting my time with you .......I'm sure that you will respond though......your type always does.
