Maybe you could send them an e-mail and see if they ship to Canada - just because the don't list shipping prices doesn't necessarily mean they aren't willing/able to send things north.

Dwight,
I've found that contacting a US seller with your Postal Code, and asking if they'd be willing to ship a specific item to you, very often yields a positive response.
Also try the UK (SRS is a great start - talk to Chris).
A few advanced searches on eBay - where you specify Canadian Sellers, should yield more local dealers. I've dealt successfully with a few - no problems.
If there's a camera store near you, why not drop by? He needs to know you want Pentax, and he could use your business.
Let us know how you make out.

Marketing in North America must be easier than it is here, if customers pay the brand owner to do their advertising for them.

Chris,
I didn't know that this was a North American thing, but yes, our young folk are often paying big bucks to be walking billboards.
As well as loving cameras, I play and teach guitar. The Fender, Gibson, Martin wars are always in full swing with caps, tee shirts, beer coolers etc.
Sports take this to a whole other level. In fact, this is probably where this type of thing started
You seldom see these items given away.
How much does a Manchester United shirt go for in England?

I was looking for some clothes the other day but decided that if I wanted to something to read I would buy a book.

I surfed into http://pentaxwebstore.com/products/pentax_logo_gear which is great if you live in USA and want to get some PENTAX stuff I was wondering if anyone knows where to get similar stuff in Canada or able to order from a place which ships to Canada.
Thanks,
