I was just starting to look into this. It's odd that I can order the CoaguChek XS from INRTest in Australia for under $900.

They even have some better bargain bundles with test strips and lancets. Shipping to US is $29. QAS wants $2495 for the same device.
Bill, right across Canada the Coaguchek XS with travel kit is $499.00
Mine was delivered from Roche in Montreal.
