      Our corporate website www.tryten.com showcases/sells our products to all of our customers.  We have Canadian and UK based customers and would like to duplicate our website onto .ca and .co.uk domains respectively to better service them.  These sites will showcase the same products, only the price and ship from locations will change.  Also, the phone numbers and contact info will be altered.  The sites will all be on one server.  On each of the sites there will be a country selector which will take you to the appropriate domain for the country selected. Will doing this negatively affect our rankings in the US, UK and Canada?

        No.

        The .ca domain will appear primarily in Google.ca or Bing.ca SERPs, while the other ccTLDs will appear in the SERPs for their respective countries. Since the content is designed for their respective countries, it is not considered as duplicate content.

          Ryan said it all... but my first suggestion would be to start asap a link building campaign in order to give to the new .ca and .co.uk a strong link profile, in order to have the .com ranking higher than them in the regional Googles.
