I thought DVD's coming in to Canada from the US were subject to all this crap. Is it just Canada Customs hit and miss as to whether you get stuck with all these extra fees?

How does amazon.com ship to Canada - regular US Mail?

I had 3 BDs in my last order from amazon.com and i didn't pay anything extra, just the discs and shipping

yup, its definetly the best place right now

Beta-guy · 11-09-2007, 04:15 AM

what is the shipping to get BD's into canada?

aristotles · 11-09-2007, 04:16 AM

Not only is it cheaper on amazon.com (even with having to pay more for shipping) but there is no tax on it either. Books and movies are tax and duty exempt if you buy from the US because of a clause in NAFTA.

international shipping

Hahah with how weak our dollar is now, I think the title could be changed to REST OF THE PLANET buy from amazon.com.

Movies aren't exempt, I pay duty on them from time to time from certain companies. We had a thread about this a few days ago, but Amazon.com basically ships them to Amazon.ca as a stock move which is exempt from duty, and then Amazon.ca puts a new label on and ships them to you. If you notice it should always be canada post labels on them when you get them. You have to use the standard shipping though.

I have ordered from Amazon at least 10 seperate times and have not paid duty or taxes a single time. Amazon.com is great for us Canucks right now.

actually mine arrive from Kentucky...or at least that's what it says on the label...never had to pay duties as of yet

Yep! definitely the way to go. Besides the usual lower msrp, strong dollar, no tax and no customs....

there's no French on the cover!!! (for those English speaking Canadians)

Is it just Canada Customs hit and miss as to whether you get stuck with all these extra fees? How does amazon.com ship to Canada - regular US Mail?
