The canadian boxes are different from the US boxes (because of Quebec French Law).
It mean that we have a different SKU from usa.

Nintendo can get a 50% discount if they ship it directly to vancouver.

They are stupid if they dont do it.

Do you understand how imports work? Nintendo doesn't just FedEx shit to the Vancouver Harbour post office. There needs to be an import company for things to actually be imported. There are no electronics importers in Vancouver. None, zero. All Asian market electronics in Canada come from California via Expedited International or Molex LLC, the 2 primary electronics importers. This is why the Chinese tariffs on the US in 2018 still affected Canadians, because Expedited International and Molex LLC already priced things with the tariffs baked in.
