Get down to the WSSBC convention this wknd & talk to Bob from Barneys. He sells them & has donated a bunch of gear to help out the cause.

I ordered mine through High Mountain Outfitters in Idaho, and would recommend their service.
Prices were all the same everywhere I looked....

I've never seen them listed in BC, not to say they're not somewhere.

High Mtn Outfitters - you can see their selection on their website. I plan on ordering an Allak this spring. They ship USPS too which is the only way to go.

Hilleberg tents cannot be sold commercially in Canada because they do not meet some Canadian fire ******ant (or is it ******ed...) requirement for tents fabric...
Even better, Canada Customs slaps an 18% (or so) duty on them, which with HST is a 30% (or so) hike on the landed cost.
However they are, hands down, the best f*cking tents around.

Do you recall how much the duty was?

When darkness comes early and the slush is blowing sideways, I never think about what my tent cost me, I just stake out the vestibule and go to sleep with a smile on my face.

AAI in Bellingham, WA is a dealer. I paid my HST when I brought my Akto across but wasn't hit with the 18% duty.

So should you order straight from Hilleberg site ? or High Mountain Outfitters in Idaho ? .. lol. It sounds like a throw of the dice if you get hit for the tax or duty at the border .

Right from Hilleberg, in WA, call them on the phone. Request USPS, they're good people and will have no issue. 1-866.848.8368
FWIW you don't need a groundsheet.

The duty is hit or miss... The tents are made in Estonia. Hilleberg usually marks country of origin as the United States. You'll only get dinged for the duty if a customs officer decides to open and inspect your package.
http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/trade-commerce/tariff-tarif/2013/01-99/tblmod-01-eng.html <--- it's somewhere in that mess. I found it when I ordered my Allak. It was shipped USPS without issue.
