Funny thing, If you order from the US page, and ship to Canada, you get the US price. I guess they swallow the loss.
but it isn't the same.
if you buy it from the US site, and simply have it shipped to Canada, getting the US price makes sense.
buying it from the Canadian site, and paying a higher price also makes sense.
DigiKey Canada adds another layer of cost to DigiKey's business...separate entity, separate accounting, separate tax implications, separate banking accounts, separate credit card/paypal transaction/accounts...everything associated with operating DigiKey must be duplicated for DigiKey Canada, even if only "behind the scenes".
