Dell.ca versus Dell.com

Now with $1 CND = $1 US I can no longer find a justification for Dell.ca pricing.

I was all set to order an XPS720 until I compared the pricing at the 2 sites

XPS with E6750, 2GB DDR2 800MHz, 320GB Seagate 7200RPM, GeForce 8600GTS, 2407FWP and 13-in-one card reader

USA = 2,309
CAN = 3,028

I will NOT be shopping at Dell.ca until they bring their pricing into line. I CANNOT order from the Dell USA site because they refuse to ship to Canada. To date every computer I have purchased in the last 10 years has been from Dell. No longer.

Not to excuse Dell, but you also have to bear in mind that discounts offered between the two sites vary from time to time. There may be deals on one site at one time, but not the other. The system you are looking at may have discounts on the U.S. site now, but that could switch next week.
 
Quick example:
 
Same monitor, in this case it is $30 cheaper on the Canadian site.

The Dell PCs on the Canadian web site are never discounted.. just the parts change every so often , but the price is relatively the same..  Yes , now that the Canadian dollar is at par and will be above the US dollar soon  , Why have the prices not changed to reflect the Value of Our currency. im thinking of canceling my 720 that's in transit due to Currency issues .  By the way i called HP about BlackBird same price in Canada and USA.  Blackbird may just be a better deal money wise. Canadians cannot order from Dell USA directly.. as they are separate companies .  Says Dell Canada. Also if u bought  a  HP Blackbird in Alberta Canada  , there is no Sales tax in Alberta. Thats more savings .
