Yes we had to stop shipping direct to canada, due to outrageous fees that were happening on the customers end due to changes with how shipping companies and customs works in early 2007.
Blame the parcel/courier companies. Their brokerage fees are outrageous. If you sent somethign via UPS it costs a minimum of $25 extra to UPS when it gets here. You send the same item by USPS parcel post and it's rarely over $5 to the post office for handling (and usually $0). I really like the look of these Mushkins but it seems the Corsair has come in and been shipped that I ordered. I wish I'd seen the Mushkin first :(

I've had nothing but problems with this kit and the Asus Rampage Extreme. I'm working with Greg at the mushkin forum so see if I can get results. I would like to see you try them out on the Rampage Extreme.
