Expensive as 'ell for us to order from 'merican online stores. Sometimes it doubles the quoted price.
Example...I ordered a Newsboy Apple style cap from Kalifornia and the $27.56 quoted price turned into a $59.66 charge on my credit card.
Wife ordered me a jacket from Woolrich for Christmas...almost as bad plus it didn't fit. She did get me a nice Columbia canvas and fleece vest from somewhere down there that I kept.

What is it, the exchange rate, your taxes or just shipping?

With the cap, it is a combination of all three. The $15+ US shipping charge alone accounted for just over $20.00 of the difference.
We can get free shipping on our LL Bean stuff.
Also received rain/snow bib pants from Cabrellas, but since there are a few stores in Canada, I believe she paid in Canadian dollars.

Why did you pay $15 if shipping is free

As I stated earlier, the cap came from a company in California. They do have free shipping if you spend more than my cap cost but only applied to the lower 48 states. I just mentioned LL Bean to illustrate the different policies of various American retailers.

Do all Canadian retailers share the same policies, or is there one policy mandated by the
government?

It's "Cabelas". Doesn't Canada import the same Chinese crap?
