I just can't wait for it to arrive! It's a 6qt 600 KA!!! I checked everywhere in Canada, and it's 700$CDN (around 580$USD) and then you had 14% tax (it's almost 100$ more) and the shipping another 50$, I found one on Ebay (from an Ebay store) with the shipping and all it costs me about 420$CDN (around 350$USD), it won't cost me a ton of $$ in duties! maybe 100$ max, so I still save 300$CDN!!!
that makes my day!
I would've waited before ordering it, since we're short on money, but now that I have that big contract with the bakery, and like Mouse said in another thread, it wouldn't be fun if my old 300w KA broke while baking a large order from them. I'll keep it for my icing and whipped cream, but the heavy duty stuff, like cookie doughs, will go into the new baby!
I'll tell you when it arrives!!!!
I feel like when I learn I'm pregnant... weird... by chance I don't have to give birth to it 
Not to burst your bubble...but I hope you bought your mixer from a Canadian rep. If you purchase a KA in the US and bring it into Canada, you immediately null the warranty.
I did the same thing as you. I looked all over Canada and thought the price was too high so I took a trip to Ohio and picked one up for $320 US. I registered the product and everything was great for about three months. Then the switch busted. It would only run on the highest speed (even in the low position) and would overheat and shut itself off. When I called KA (both US and CAN) there was absolutely nothing they would do for me except give me a phone number for the closest KA certified repair shop! The CAN agent told me if there isn't a CSA sticker on it, they wouldn't touch it. The US agent said as soon as I brought it over the border they would no longer consider the warranty valid. As I looked on line for more info on consumer complaints and to see what I could do about being ripped off, I discovered many, many newer KA have switch problems. Next time I will definately save for the Hobart instead of trying to save a buck.
Did I ever get my KA fixed? My friends husband is an electrician and tinkerer and fixed it up for me. Now I just do it myself when it happens. Let me tell you, icing sugar and a mixer at high speed do not work well together!
I think its sooo funny how we all get so excited over KA!!! They should let us do a commercial lol
I feel your excitement! I just was cleaning my 12 year old baby (best thing the ex bought me and it outlasted him ) I think I am going to get my brother one for Christmas because in our family we have the "have a kitchenaid and will travel" mentality. and he doesn't have his own. A buddy of mine has an auto body shop so his will have flames... hehe
Congratulations!!
