Re: Optrel Satellite Helmet from Ebay

Contact the manufacturer about the warranty issue. Warranties are always
with the manufacturer not the seller but most stores handle warranty
repairs/replacement as a courtesy service. Note that if the warranty is good
in Canada you may incur costs shipping it back across the border for
service.

Your $300 cost is likely going to have about $45 PST&GST, $5. post office
GST collection, $15est shipping added to it. If it comes by UPS and some
other couriers you may be looking at about $30 brokerage charges so specify
regular US mail for shipping or find out about all charges first.
