Anyone have any experience ordering from Archambault.ca? More specifically do they ship titles with slipcovers?

I am located in the US and this is one of the few sites that ships here. I sometimes buy Canadian titles for their slipcovers. I have had bad experiences with Amazon.ca where they ship brand new releases without slipcovers when the titles are supposed to have them.

I've never ordered from them so idk.

but id suggest try playstop.ca they have free shipping to the usa and if u contact them at orders@playstop.ca they can check the item if its instock and tell u weather or not it has a slip.

or try http://www.bluraybin.com/ they do free us shipping over $25 and they list if the item has a slip either in the title or check under technical specs and it will say yes or no if it has one.

Playstop is a good source for E One titles with slipcovers. However, they don't get slipcovers for other studios. Also, they no longer respond to my emails regarding whether a title comes with slipcovers or not.

Bluraybin has a great website. I like that they tell you if the slipcover is included or not, but again there's titles where they don't get the slipcovers.

give this email address a try ELavoie@entonegroup.com for playstop. can also try calling them 905.624-7337 Ext. 7703. if they don't respond the first time sometimes u just have to spam them. kinda sucks that u have to do that but if in the end u get what u need its worth it I guess.

one other site u can try is

they sell used stuff. but if u see something instock at there stores u can post on there facebook page or email them and they will check all there stores that have it instock for if they have a sliped copy they have done it a few times for me.

it's a local shop in town. good place to find books, movies, musics, instruments, whatever else. the are generally overpriced on many items but you can find some stuff from time to time cheaper than anywhere else.

I recommend it, you shouldnt have any problem.

I sometimes order from Playstop.ca, they often have the cheapest price for Scream/Shout titles, and they used to send them a month early! Now they don't though, but otherwise the free shipping and good prices make it a good place.

However - you have to watch your orders with them:
- If you pre-order more than a month before the release date the order sometimes get lost in the shuffle - happened to me 2 times.
- Watch what they charge your credit card, I have been charged double for 3 items before. So I had to call for a refund.
- I've been charged after I've cancelled an item/order and never received it so I had to call for a refund for the same order on 2 different occasions a month apart because they didn’t process the refund the first time like they said they would.

Basically just keep an eye on your credit card bill – as people should anyway regardless.

However when they do things right (which has been most of the time) you often receive pre-orders a day before or on the release date.

Never ordered from them, but their stores in Quebec were pretty awesome when I was there a few years ago.

I ordered vinyl records from them before and they were packaged very securely and shipped very quickly.

I know this was posted a few months back, but thanks to this link, I was able to find a rare Canada-only Blu-ray box set of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics on their site that I've been hunting for a few years now. Hopefully all goes well in the payment/shipping process.

Has anybody tried to price match Archambault at BB/FS? Supposedly they have 14 stores.
