Heres the Gaucho Readers digest...the machines took 4EVER to get here..3+ months! It was not all their fault as Air canada did bump the machines a couple of times. They also charged a fair bit to prep.and crate the machines. Also the base prices you see on their site are 100% unshopped and untested. The ones I bought thru EBAY were fully shopped and working, although that wasn't exactly what I received. IJ was the better of the 2...just some switch errors and a not perfect job of redoing the artwork. TAF has more errors and has a couple of PF imperfections and a ramp repair, and overall is not as nice as the IJ.

  After factoring in the high shipping and prep. costs, the machines were really not that much cheaper than what I get from the States. I also tend to think I may have been lucky with what I got, considering some of the emails I've received from past Gaucho customers.

Lastly you do have to pick-up the machines from the airport, and with the size of the crates they are in, you'll need a pick-up for sure to get them home. No way those crates go in the back of an SUV or wagon. You do get to clear them yourself thru customs at the airport, but you still of course pay PST and GST based on declared value.
