FYI

Several years ago Ortlieb added a restriction on their sellers to not ship retail sales to other countries, thus ifyou are in Canada (like the OP), you can't buy Ortliebs from Germany.

Other than that, I agree on European sellers having better deals. One of my Tubus racks and one of my Racktime racks came from Europe or the pre-Brexit UK. My Ortliebs came from the UK over a decade ago before Ortlieb added that restriction on their sellers.

More recently, Shimano also added that restriction, which is most unfortunate for many of us in USA.
