This sucks for Canadians as well. I have a feeling 8bit ships all stock to the USA first then ships it by truck North and South from a distribution center. This means import fees are paid at the port of entry.
Not sure if demand is high enough for 8bit to ship directly to Canada or even have a warehouse in Canada TBH.
I'd think canada is big enough market for that
There are dozens of us!
Just bought one in Canada a week ago, it came in through Vancouver, like pretty much everything else does.
Awesome thanks for the confirmation
Nope, 8bitdo (via their eshop) ships directly from China to Canada, alongside a number of other countries.
The change is only wrt shipping to US.
