Re: $395.00 US for USA $425.00 US Canada

I am glad I am not the only one.
It is not just the $30.00US, It is the principle. I ran into similar

It took almost a month to resolve and finally Will Mendez was nice

We should all paid in the advertised amount in US funds and let Visa or 
any other Credit Card do the conversion.
As Canadians we seems to get a raw deal from AVID.
