X5L (30gb) In Canada

[midas]

Where can the X5L 30gb be picked up in Canada? or will the cowonamerica store ship to Canada (Vancouver). Ive talked to stores here and they said they wont order it in special and I cant find one on ebay or amazon or anything...

This online retailer eCost: http://www.ecost.com/ecost/search/search.asp
ships to Canada and prices in $CAD. This link takes you to the exact spot where the X5 is. Price is below. I was going to use them for the U2 I just bought but went with Tigerdirect.ca instead. I too am in Vancouver.

Cheers.

One odd thing to note is that there is no Duty on the 20gb version. I don't know if this is an error, or if they can get away from customs somehow. But they do gaurantee the price, so it might just be a bonus for us Canadians.

Another major thing is that this does not include any accessories, like the carrying case, remote or cradle. These are all sold seperatly in North America (Makes me angry) and the accessories cannot be bought at ecost.com. In fact, I cannot find a place to purchase them anywhere in Canada. Any one who carries them will not ship here. Including Cowon.

A $400-500 player and you can't even buy a carrying case to protect it. I'm very disapointed.

As for ecost.com, I purchased my digital Camera from them last year. No problems. Arrived on time.

Hope this info helps.

other thread(s) discuss suntec's service.

edit comment: woops, didn't see that "coming soon" entry is still in place. i guess ecost *shrug*

Hey guys, I'm also from Canada and I am going to purchase the X5 20 gb from ecost because I found the price excellent. The one thing I'm worried about is the service that I will get from Cowon if I'm in Canada, this is by far the best mp3 player I have every seen expecially for the price, the only thing that worries me is costumer service. What are your takes on this? Please share all your thoughts.

am i missing something, or does eCost not stock the X5L versions?

i keep asking where to buy one, and everyone's like, 'eCost, eCost!'. but i don't see X5L anywhere on there.

Isn't the X5L just a 30 gig version of the X5? If so eCost has it at the bottom of this page: They still call it X5 30GB
