Agree but by the time I cover the exchange the custom brokerage fee and shipping cost, I am looking.

Battery = $19us
Shipping = $10us
Exchange = $19us + $10us * 1.15 = $34
Tax = 7% * $34cdn = $36cdn
UPS Brokerage = as much as $39cdn

Total cost as much as $75cdn

All above are average.

As you see, I am way up on cost. It is cheaper via UPS ground and brokerage average around $12us-$15us but could also take weeks more to receive, usually due to custom delay. Also most of these items the warranty only apply in the US. I wish I could order from the US without paying and arm and a leg in fee, B&H has way more selections. Some stuff the saving is worth it but not for small items.
Thanks for point out the availability of this battery to K10D users.
