Honestly, buying a bike rack in the states is just so much cheaper.

As an example, I just bought a Thule 990XT bike rack for $228 USD shipped no tax to my mailbox in Blaine. Sure there is HST when you have to bring it over the border, but the same exact rack is currently being sold at Rackattack for $399.99 + HST.

So you be the judge if you want to buy in Canada or not...

For the Hitch, I bought mine on Hitchweb.com and there is even a 5% off coupon code floating around. Prices are very comparable to etrailer and it's ships from Canada (free)so there's no duties, only GST+PST. But they do charge you in US dollars though.
