Amazon.com prices for Canadians? - Blu-ray Forum

Hi
I live in Canada, and I keep hearing about the great prices at amazon.com

Can I order from there or do I have to use the vastly inferior amazon.ca?

Yes you can

Yes, order from Amazon.com. It's worth it because our currency is becoming more valuable making it cheaper to buy Blu-ray movies from the American site instead of the Canadian site. I was somewhere resisting it at first then now that I realize with our dollar value, the prices at Amazon.com are incredibly low in comparison to most prices on Amazon.ca. Even with the shipping costs, it's still much cheaper. In fact, I just saved more than $45 by buying 4 Blu-ray movies on Amazon.com instead of Amazon.ca. Yes, I did the math!

I'm Canadian and order from both Amazon (Canadian and US). Some titles they don't have at all (of not in stock) in the Canadian site so I order from the US one. I also compare the prices and order from the place I get the best saving.

And quit often I get my movies the 3rd day without paying extra shipping. Usually it take about 1 week.

As for Duty I have yet to pay for it from Amazon. I do pay it sometime from xploited Cinema and CD Universe.
