Shipping is already included. You get 25% off due to exchange rate. Shipping cost should make up for the difference overall. If you buy something $100 CAD you should spend something like $100 US in the end.

I work in an office, have to dress well, and for years I've been doing the ol' ride-an-switch thing. I even have a wardrobe at work for my dress slacks and shirts, which I would bring in on the weekend.
Just recently, I switched bikes to an upright, and have been riding to work dressed to the nines. I don't at all miss having to change clothes a couple of times a day.
Plus, I look fabulous.

I like Endura Hummvee (sp?) 3/4 length MTB baggies for commuting and if you want they make the same style as pants and shorts. these use a clip in liner so you can wear them with or without padding. My commute is mixed bike/rail and work is casual so I just wear MTB baggies for commuting.
I also got a pair of Zoic convertible pants one time, but my knees were too big. I also sometimes use hiking pants, and rain paints outside for bad weather. Rivendell's MUSA pants would be worth a look too.

Which means in the end, if you buy something $100 CAD it should cost you between $91 US and $115 US

Yep if you're in Canada. If you're in the US it isn't, it's 19$ (i guess $19 CAD or $14.75 US at current exchange rate) + import duties if ever + a few box for $US to $CAD credit card conversion fees = somewhere between (min $16 US, max maybe $40 US for a $100 CAD purchase)
