It's just not worth it, in the end, IMO.
The last time I bought electronics in the US: I bought the Microsoft Band while at a US basketball tournament for my son. The product was not sold in Canada. It turned out to be a very poorly designed product (which is why Microsoft discontinued it, I imagine), and the strap tore. The Microsoft Store wouldn't touch it, since the SKU wasn't in their system. US Microsoft wouldn't deal with me in the US for the repair, so I had to send it to a business partner in the US, who then sent it to Microsoft. They sent it back to him, and he sent it to me.
Wayyy too much hassle. While I love browsing Best Buy stores while in the US, I'll never buy anything there again, outside perhaps of some earbuds or something otherwise disposable.
