Ive never purchased blus from amazon.com, but im definitely gonna start soon.

Its such a joke that most retailers here still dont charge US MSRP (numerically, ie $500 US MSRP = $500 CAD Retail) but its almost at the point where even THAT is not good enough considering how our dollar is murdering them.

I always get all mine from amazon.com.... has been cheaper for a while now... guess even better deals now due to our dollar !

king_patrick_7 · 11-08-2007, 11:13 PM

Die Hard set on amazon.com = $82.95 US = approx $80 CDN

Die Hard Set on amazon.ca = $111.99 CDN

How does that work????

Just got the Spidy blu box set for $68.88 USD delivered! No taxes, no duty, arrived in just 3 days! Who needs the b.s. from Amazon.ca or any other Canadian site or B&M store. I plan on buying even more, after the initial experience with Amazon.com. To all of the Canadian gouger sites, screw off and die young!!

I thought amazon.com didn't ship to Canada

they won't ship electronics, but they will ship dvds and blu-rays

on the 20th i will be ordering die hard quad set and close encounters, and will save about $45 compared to amazon.ca

Yeah, I did it this week too. I went to our local HMV looking to get Aviator, Ratatouille, Pixar collection aso. They didn't have The Aviator, even though it was two days into the release already. So I said #%&*# it! I am going to order from the states. Now I just have to wait for them to arrive. PLUS, Amazon.com has a much much bigger selection of titles then us here AND they are 30% OFF. So YES, go get them guys! It is worth it.

Thanks for helping out great white north go Canada

I'm going 100% Amazon.com ... screw HMV, Future Shop and all the other Canadian retailers that are rapping us, up the ass with their crazy prices.
I just bought Meet the Robinsons from HMV and paid $37 taxes in.
Hope they enjoy that $37, cause it's all gonna be going to Amazon.com from now on.
For xmas i'm getting $200 to put towards blu-ray's.. i hope amazon has good blu specials during the holiday season.

I had posted earlier about Amazon.com.

I bought We were Soldiers for $19.95 from .com

On the Canadian site it was $56.

I saved over $150 by going .com I also didn't pay shipping and got it sent priority. They had quoted a 2 week delivery time, when I clicked proceed with order it went to a 4 week delivery. I got Amazon to call me, then said they scammed me and demanded to talk to their supervisor.

5 mintues later, upgraded to priority shipping free of charge. Ordered Monday Night, Wednesday morning I got my movies.

Amazon.com is great and makes a LOT more sense than ordering from the .ca site. I'm still a really impatient person tho and have a hard time waiting for things. If the deal is good enough I'll go Amazon.com tho.

$56? I'm going to take a guess and say it's from an independent seller. The movie itself is out of print so it would makes sense why they are priced that high now that they are not being sold by Amazon.ca anymore.

I bought Aeon Flux from Future Shop in Canada since it wasn't available on amazon.com as new. Now is the time to get this movie... apparently it is a paramount movie and will be sold out soon I would guess. Get it while you can (if you care) Show those Paramount guys you want the blu-ray version ;-) I will order everything else from amazon.com.
