And while I agree that that's a solution, the price discrepancy is still annoying since the shipping from .com is so much higer than from .ca, and especially so since Canadians only qualify for free "super saver" shipping when ordering from the .ca site.
That said, depending on how much money you spend it can work out to be cheaper to order from .com, even when the prices are at par, simply because not only do you skip the "extra border related crap" you also skip Canadian sales tax.
I often keep two windows open and go through the checkout on both sites, and at the final step see how much everything comes out to before I submit the order at whatever site ends up being cheaper.

I've been buying the cheaper stuff from
.com, but I'm going to try that.
