Wow, I just came on the forum tonight to ask this very same question!
Just for interests sake, how much is shipping to Canada?

I've tried Lee Valley as well. They are not set up to work with razor enthusiasts, only knife enthusiasts. They top out at 8000.
I haven't purchased a 12000 yet, but when I do I know I will need to order from an online source.

I've pretty much come to the same conclusion, Desdinova, though even ordering from Leevalley is online for me. I was just hoping to find a Canadian company that might ship cheaper...Mind you, that might not be feasible, as I often see Canadian companies charging more to ship in Canada than to the States...
For Brantd: I think shipping was roughly the same as the stone itself, IIRC; it made a stone that is $35 with free shipping in CONUS into a $70 stone here.

Wow--thanks for all the replies, and particularly to CannonFodder for the offer!
I think I may actually go for the stone from Poland. The only downside I can see with it is that it's a smaller stone than the one I was looking at from Woodcraft (I was thinking about the 2 3/4" wide stone), but it's stupid cheap, and comes with another stone for slurry--which is good b/c I don't actually have a lapping plate to use with it (though thanks for that tip too, CF!).
I'll let you guys know what it's like when it arrives! Thanks again for all the help!

Yep. I got lucky and bought one from a fellow friend from Toronto.. (he got lucky to find it). Another option, if you live close to the border, is to have it shipped to a mail forwarding company. I'm in Montreal and I get some stuff shipped to Freeport Forwarding in Champlain, NY... about a 45 min drive. Cost 2$ per package. I only use it when I need something special only shipped by UPS or for big sales you usually have in the US.
(ie. Amazon had something I wanted for 99$ + Free shipping. Whereas it would be about 215$ here...)
