This is a straight-up fake deal for residents of Canada! You can have a D3300 with the 18-55 mm lenses for 540 CAD on Amazon.ca but with this site it would cost 565 CAD. Please stop, Massdrop. Also, for the US, if shipping costs any more than 10$, it is litteraly cheaper on Amazon.com and they don't claim it's a "Special crowd-based deal" or anything like that.
juliengroulxI purchased this camera at the same price (USD $379.99) using Massdrop a few weeks ago. Although there is a USD $37.50 shipping fee to Canada, the final Massdrop price does not include Canadian duties and taxes.
When it arrived I was informed by Canadian Customs that I needed to pay an additional CDN $76.30 (USD $58.27).
This effectively negated any savings compared with purchasing the same camera and lens from retailers such as Amazon Canada or Best Buy Canada.
After foreign exchange fees and Canadian duties and taxes, the final price I paid for this camera is CDN $625.93 (USD $478.05).
I am very disappointed that Massdrop did not indicate that Canadian duties and taxes would be applied once the product ships to Canada.
