Their Jazz is almost 20 dollars. I don't know if thats including S&H, but thats way more than the 9 dollars that it going for everywhere else.

It that canadian price?

no, it's US dollars, and imported from hong kong. so if you wanna buy your homemade products from a foreign land, expect to be 3x more expensive than domestically.

Exactly, the upside and why it's a well known site is because (just like seeing things early on at ebay) ahq will get waves MUCH quicker than US based online stores.

It might be stuck with customs or it might be still being shipped via surface (worst case @ 3-6 months) airmail (good 2-4 weeks) or EMS (excellent 1-2 weeks). You might be paying some customs fees when you receive your item unless you requested that they declare it a 'USED TOY' and 'GIFT' with a value of $10 US. If you are not at home when it is delivered you will receive a notice to pick the item up from your local post office outlet.
