Just a "me too" ... I recently bought my 2000u on eBay and the seller
charged me US$25 to ship "USPS EMS Express Mail", whatever that it. It was
a fairly large & heavy package because it included a whole pile of manuals
too, so I imagine it would have been cheaper for just the Newt and
accessories. Arrived at my door in Toronto from San Francisco in 3 days, no
problems, no brokerage fees, no customs hassles (although there was sticker
saying I might hear from Customs later - I guess NAFTA doesn't exempt Newts
because they're not assembled in North America?
