Seems the Canadian Apple Store nevers offers the great refurb. deals often available on U.S. I've tried several ways of buying the U.S. refurbs from Canada (including phoning both Stores, as well as Apple Canada head office), and don't seem to be getting anywhere.

Would be most grateful for any other thoughts on how to accomplish this.

Many thanks in advance.

(I posted this question previously in the deep down in another thread; so apologies to those who have already seen it.)

You need a US based address and most likely credit card. You can probably get an address from a MailBoxes ETC... the credit acrd is harder... one way would be to buy an eCard, most major credit card companies offer them as a safer way of doing business online. The idea is that you pruchase the eCard from them... so it has a set spending limit, but otherwise behaves like a regular credit card.
