Has anyone heard of “Dragon Impact” out of BC, Canada? They’ve got the purple dragonfly listed.

I have never heard of them, but this is the kind of store I would look at, anyway. They say they have them in stock so, who knows? I wonder what the customs charges would be, if any?

I do not know anything about the current situation regarding ordering things from Canada. I was assuming you were in the USA.

I am in the US. Shipping seems high, perhaps any such fees are wrapped into the shipping cost?

Most businesses, in my experience, would not include duties in their shipping quotes (unless specifically broken out separately). However, the US had implemented a $800 limit that could be imported via mail duty free back in 2016. Not sure if that would have changed. Shipping parcels within Canada is much more expensive than a similar sized box within the USA. On the plus side, if you are paying with USD, the Cdn dollar is valued around $0.76 USD so you have more buying power. The only additional concern would be your specific state laws, if you have a sales tax that might need to be declared and paid.

I would get one of the Dragonfly models before they are completely gone. I bought a purple and gave it to my wife and then bought one for myself when they first came out. They are nice. I missed the pink.

I wouldn't think they are. It's a fairly iconic model at a reasonable price. I think it'll be around for a good while yet.

They are not planning on discontinuing the Dragonfly, but the purple was a Sprint Run and so on a few were made.

Scored a purple DF! Had some trouble with getting payment made, but the shop took care of me.

I’d amend the want list to include the pink/purple zome Delica and a pink Delica. I’ll be getting a purple Delica, though no hurry as those are standard items.
