I haven't tried jr.COM or DEEPDISCOUNTDVD.COM yet.. Has anyone been hit with customs when getting an order form those sites?

I've order 2 times from JR.com; no custom.

I have also ordered from J&R. Took a little longer than Amazon and their online status is not quite correct for Canadian orders. Was not charged tax or handling (but it was not a huge order). Shipping rates are reasonable (slightly less than Amazon if I remember correctly)

chrisshea · 12-12-2007, 03:07 PM

Thanks...

I will have to give it a try....

Kyot · 12-12-2007, 04:38 PM

J&R has good sales, and I ve never had to pay customs. BUT it does take a while for the movies to arrive.

It ticks me off you can't get all the releases from U.S. in Canada. I am still looking for Van Wilder and AC/DC for god's sake!

Yeah, Amazon.com... ya might even save a little

The only time it's not worked out the way I wanted is with the HP movies... The yank version says sorcerer instead of philosopher and I loose a fair bit of audio tracks and subs. Nothing a re-print of the cover can't fix, and since only care about the English track, no loss there.

Oh, you lose much more than just a fair bit of audio tracks. The Canadian edition has tons of audio tracks and subtitle tracks.

I also buy from DVDPacific.com sometimes as they do offer good deals sometimes. Never got nailed on customs using DVDPacific.com.

chrisshea · 12-14-2007, 08:07 AM

the punisher is not available in canads from what i figured

so i got it off amazon.com

wozman · 01-10-2008, 05:26 PM

I just jumped on the amazon.com as apposed to the amazon.ca bandwagon, and made my first purchase, 6 DVD titles, with huge savings. Says that the shipment has been shipped out, (received email notification from amazon.com) However estimated arrival time is February 3rd-4th. Thats over a month away. There has to be a miss print there, wouldn't you say. What is the average wait time for people ordering from Canada on Amazon.com? Like I said this is my first order.

Thanks again, hope this works.

Damn i'll try if i can it will be SOOOOO nice

I order blu-ray discs from amazon.COM all the time. Cheaper and no tax too... what a deal ;-) Only pay for shipping. The order is maybe electronically transferred across the border?? Who knows how it works... but with a strong canadian dollar it ends up being a good deal :-)

I wouldn't worry..they tell me it's 3-4 weeks away as well and then it arrives within a week.

bajor27 · 01-10-2008, 05:33 PM

I'm in BC, but I've ordered from Amazon.com for years without problem.

Also been ordering from deepdiscount.com for years. You will get hit with duty from time to time on their orders though - just depends on the size. They're shipping is a lot less than amazon though, so sometimes it's still worth it.

I bought 2 BD from deepdiscount.com couple months ago with a BOGO and they sent my movies in 2 separates packages! Took a while(2 weeks i think) and had to pay tax and handling(customs duties kind of stuff).

I hope you're right. I ordered 4 movies from amazon.com on january 2nd and the order isnt expected to arrive until the 23rd. Hope it gets here sooner, ATLEAST by the 17th.

Hopefully, thats true......

I will have to see how this turns out, and it will defiantly change the way I buy my Blue Ray Movies for this day forward. Cause the Box Stores, (Best Buy and Futureshop) are killing us Canadians here, on there pricing.

on this last BOGO i spent 121 and got 6 of the BOGO's plus POTC: AWE ... pretty good if you ask me

I find the same thing - usually about 1 week for me from the date shipped. (I ordered all 5 Harry Potter discs - they were broken into two shipments. Both shipped on Jan 3. I received 1 shipment on Jan 8 and one on Jan 9)

delavoie · 01-10-2008, 06:25 PM

I ordered AC/DC, Elton John, Ratatouille & Bad Santa from amazon.com and i got them in about 1 week.
i'm in Canada also.
Amazon will say that it will take 2-4 weeks for delivery, but they just send the order to Amazon Canada and it's shipped from ontario.. no duty or taxes.
