Yes. And Amazon.com forces you to pre-pay it.

I recently had an Amazon.com certificate that I had to use. Here's the breakdown:

Price of two movies $19.48 US
Shipping and handling $10.97 US
Import fees deposit $3.06 US

Total $33.51 US

Then convert to CAD to end up with over $36 for two movies costing under $20 US.

No.

Every order starts with a $4.99 charge just for ordering.

Every movie is an additional $2.99.

Then they add a deposit for import fees at the end.

You are better off ordering from someone like Deep Discount sometimes.

There is no such thing as "free shipping" for us Canadians at Amazon.com but the more items you place in one order the lower your shipping costs will be.

Personally i've stopped using them since they started charging import fees.

It's actually cheaper to order from Amazon.uk.

For example I got three Dirty Harry movies for like $46 cdn

+1....I've been ordering from Tower.com or CDUniverse (both U.S.-based) -- no import fees charged....pricing is similar to Amz.com, but shipping is a flat $4.99 per title, and shipping times tend to be longer than Amz.
