Thank you very much! The money order is the only thing I would worry about.
I will have to do some homework before I will commit to that. Not much
control on my end if I use a money order.

Ask for Pascal Gosselin


Here's his post on the CPA site.


Ok here's the deal on getting your GPSMAP 496 from us in Canada (where we
are exempt from Garmin's minimum retail price policies).

Price: $2,545 US; UPS 2nd day shipping included (a $250 savings), no sales
tax. Order must be prepaid via a money order. Estimated availability:
around mid-August (same time as all of the non-Oshkosh dealers get them).

None at all, actually. There's no way in hell I'd enter into a deal like that.
It screams "Rip me off!". This is what they make credit cards for.

I would second that view.

Might as well send the money order to Nigeria. ;-)

Having said that, they guy *could* be legit and doesn't want to fight
international credit card charge backs.

I would never agree to a MO on a deal like this. If this was a legit vendor
he would accept CC's. If anyone is worried about 2% then I would pay the 2%
difference on the CC.
