Pigmeat Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Anyone here from Canada that has purchased Motion Sound products recently? I contacted Gear Music (the only Canadian dealer listed on the Motion Sound website) and they said that they are not carrying their products currently. I then contacted Motion Sound to find out where I could find their products in Canada, but it's been several days without a response. My next idea is to talk to Sweetwater in the US to see if they'll ship to me. What's with companies that don't respond to emails regarding sales of their products?

zxcvbnm098 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Although it is frustrating, my understanding is that MS is a very small operation. Just a couple of people I believe. I think Sweetwater is a good bet to try though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Towne Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yes, Motion Sound is very small (but mighty). At this point, Sweetwater is your best bet.

JeffKeys Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Small company, great products!! Have been playing through my KP612 for about a year and almost every time I play a gig, I"m taken aback by how good it sounds! Especially with acoustic piano patches!!

Pigmeat Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Thanks for the advice everyone. The KP612 looks like a good fit for me and I'll try Sweetwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doerfler Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I just purchased a KP610S from Sweetwater. They have their act together. No doubt, the question is can they ship to Canada? Let's hope so for the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawback Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yes, Sweetwater ships to Canada. Factoring in exchange, shipping and brokerage fees, buying anything cross-border is expensive and takes time, but in this case I think it would be worth it. One thing I've found is don't wait for a response to an email query. Simply order the amp online and they'll call you. Quote ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear.

gd1 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I used to have instruments and vintage car parts shipped to a friend"s place just across the border, drive over, pay any border fees and taxes. As of March 2019 most of the states have imposed a sales tax on online sales. Last fall I was able to buy a Vintage Air unit for my '72 convertible at dealer cost. Since it was delivered in Niagara Falls NY I had to pay 7% NY State sales tax plus the Ontario taxes.Still saved about $600 over buying the same unit up here. As drawback stated it is expensive.
