Canadians: Lower prices!
Due to the strength of the Canadian dollar, we've been able to lower even more of our Canadian prices. We haven't got through everything yet, so if you find a price that you think should be lower, please let us know, or try our "Name Your Price" feature.

Keep in mind that Kelly's Music Canada can't always offer the same price as Kelly's Music USA. In some cases, the Canadian distributor hasn't lowered their prices to the same as the US, so we have to charge a bit more. In other cases (such as M-Audio), the distributor is very good at keeping up with price changes and our Canadian prices are very attractive. As well, if we have to import an item from the US, we pay the extra shipping, duties, customs fees and brokerage for you - sometimes that means that an item imported from the US may sell for more in Canada than the US. However, since you usually get free shipping, and don't have to pay the brokerage or duty, the total price of ordering from us is still much less than ordering from the US.

We are here for you, so please call or e-mail if you have any questions about our pricing or the products we sell.

Canadian Prices Lowered...
Our Canadian customers will be glad to hear that we've dropped our pricing on a huge number of products over the past few weeks given the strength of the Canadian dollar. Keep in mind that when we source products from US vendors, we still have to pay customs charges, including duty, brokerage, and taxes. Of course shipping from the US can be expensive, so we have to account for all of these costs when setting our selling prices in Canada.

In other cases, we source products from Canadian suppliers (such as Steinberg Canada or Roland Canada), and often they are slow to adjust their prices (if they adjust them at all) to reflect the current exchange rate. If you see an item that you think isn't priced fairly, compared to the US price, please let us know and we will see what we can do for you.
