Please open a Canadian branch of your website like other large sites eventually do. Your international shipping rates and the customs charges are outrageous and seem to only be getting worse. MASSDROP.CA PLEASE!
I will say that, for the items I ordered, the typical shipping cost is around 10$. I dont think thats crazy, my complaint was about this specific item.
Komperdell's line-up can be a bit bewildering. The C2 has been around a long time, and has evolved. Here's an early review:
https://backpackinglight.com/komperdell_c2_carbon_tour_duolock_review/
The locking mechanism is improved, the pole section diameters (I think) are each now about 2 mm larger (stiffer), and the grip/ribbed foam section is better. They don't pack down very small, but, in use, have a wider range of adjustment, 110 -145 cm, break down to 42.5" (Is this correct?) vs 120-145 cm adjustment range, break down to 18", for, for example, the Komperdell Ultralight Vario 4 (also carbon).
I've broken the carbon fiber lowest section twice on earlier Vario 4's (on the current version, that section is now aluminum), once for no obvious reason, once because I was in a small rock avalanche of rain-wet shingle, and both times I was able to keep hiking for several days, with the broken carbon fiber tube end doing surprisingly well as a pole tip. Both times Komperdell was prompt and gracious with their warranty replacement.
