I'm in Canada and your in the us. Shipping to canada is almost always killer. Unfortunately the free shipping deal is for us only.
If the cost of a water test kit is breaking the bank, an RTC is probably not the best choice of fish to try to keep.
How about a nice Horabagrus brachysoma or a Pimelodus blochii?
What about Amazon? What is their shipping like? I know they have API kits for pretty cheap, and shipping is almost always free... At least to the states.

On amazon.ca it is $40 + shipping. On amazon.com its something like $20 + shipping. I'll have to make an account to find out the shipping cost though
Test kits are about $40 here. I agree with what your saying, though imo it doesn't have to be very expensive. But I do appreciate your concern, and I most likely won't get another rtc until I have my pond/tank setup.
