I've never purchased a "big-ticket" item from either, only a flash from B&H. For that item, they shipped by the US Postal Service which transfers the parcel to Canada Post, who collect $5 for brokerage fees. For larger items, like lenses, I believe both Adorama and B&H use a courier and couriers charge big $ for shipping to Canada and bigger $ for brokerage. Brokerage could be up to $65 for a smaller item and much higher for larger items. This is something you have to check. Before you order, it would be worth your time to research this part in some detail to avoid surprises. I've been hit by courier brokerage fees for software and if you don't see it coming, it's a big shock.
