The following taken from the news release....

Not to mention you guys in CA have never been able to call HD customer service directly but instead had to deal with CS through Deeley. That will change for sure.

Not mentioned by anyone is whether or not there is some sort of import duty involved. If there is, the price difference is directly attributable to "government interference" and having Deeley as the middle man added relatively little. If there is no duty involved, then getting Deeley out of it may be a big help. I just ask the question as no one has mentioned it.

Here comes the new boss,same as the old boss...
Prices will not change and likely need to be increased for the transition costs of a new management team or be "justified" by some other corporate bafflegab.Besides if Ford,GM, and Chrysler and countless other corporations can gouge Canadians for far more dollars than what they sell the same product to Americans for(don't you just love it when a part or vehicle that is manufactured in Ontario is a lot cheaper to buy in San Diego than Toronto),why should HD be any different?
