A problem might arise at customs, because despite the key code being the real value of the purchase, the disc has a face value that is above the customs threshold. If for some reason I was asked to pay duty by customs (and worst of all an admin fee to process the payment, levied by the courier) it wouldn't make buying from abroad any cheaper.
All I can say is that we've never had any customs issues yet sending software abroad.

Hi Albert,
I am in Vancouver and had a look at upgrade pricing on the Pardooz site.
It seems that I can get XXP 5 upgrade from XXP4+Web Designer for $25.40?
Is that an electronic download?
Also, why is the Pardooz price $25.40 Cdn but on the Xara.com web site, the price for the same upgrade is $59.51 Cdn .
Xara's price seems to be more than 2x the Pardooz price!
Am I missing something, or is Albert and Pardooz just offering a very good price to us Canadians? :-)
Hi Improv,
please note that the CDN 25.40 (all-in) you mentioned applies when you purchase the upgrade from Xtreme 4 and Web Designer to Xtreme 5 (xara.com: CDN 26.48 ex + $ 8 US (or CDN 8.80) for shipping).
And we charge CDN 59 (again all-in) for the upgrade from Xtreme PRO 4 and Web Designer to Xtreme PRO 5 (xara.com: CDN 59.59 ex + $ 8 US (or CDN 8.80) for shipping).
Prices above are for the CD-version, not the electronic download and are available to all, not just Canadians .

Damn, I wish I'd have known that sooner......
Albert - Does buying directly from Xara have any advantages, that you can't offer? Maybe I'll do my business with you in the future.

Yes, as I mentioned in my previous post, I was looking for the upgrade from XXP4 and Web Designer because that is what I now have!
Ok, if you go to this page:And we charge CDN 59 (again all-in) for the upgrade from Xtreme PRO 4 and Web Designer to Xtreme PRO 5 (xara.com: CDN 59.59 ex + $ 8 US (or CDN 8.80) for shipping).

It seems that I was originally looking at the Xtreme 4 and Web Designer upgrade, not the Xtreme Pro4 and Web Designer upgrade which is listed at $50 Cdn, plus shipping.
So I guess I either order from Xara and get the download immediately and wait longer for the CD to ship or I order from Pardooz and wait a few days for shipping with no download to play with immediately.
No real advantage when the prices are pretty much the same.
Do you have the CDs now for immediate shipping?Prices above are for the CD-version .
Cheers
CD's will be available from Xara and Authorized resellers sometime in July.
In the past resellers receive their retail CD stock shortly after Xara Ltd actually have them.
The advantage of using a local reseller is that you are supporting a local business, prices may be more competitive and you will receive your retail version CD sooner than waiting for overseas mail to arrive (once the reseller has their stock of course).
