Total $19.48
Shipping and handling $10.97 (cheapest option)
Import fees deposit $3.06 (you never have to pay more and they say they will refund the difference if it is less, but I have no experience with this)
Total $33.51.
Converted to CAD, approximately $35.77
So they are asking around $15 CAD to ship two movies across the border.
The total price of $35.77 is similar to ordering two $13.99 movies from CH Canada when you add tax and shipping, but bear in mind that the two movies I chose were extremely cheap in the first place.
It has to be an incredible price to justify ordering from Amazon.com unless you have a friend in the US that will ship it to you.
Amazon UK is far superior. For instance, The Bourne Trilogy is $57 CAD shipped at the moment. You run the risk of import duty but it's pretty random.

I was going to place an order the other day but the shipping was like $22 (that was for about 7 titles tho),i almost crapped myself lol
