Amazon Question

Post by Prince Adam »

This is a little off-topic (okay, waaaaay off-topic) but I rarely stray from General Discussion, and this is general....
Anyway, I was wondering:

Does Amazon.com ship to Canada? I know I'd have to pay more, but oh well. And Amazon.com just has a much better selection than Amazon.ca.

Anyone know? I really hope they do (Amazon.ca kinda sucks!).

Amazon.com ships just about everywhere in the free world.

Yep they do!

I ordered my Rey Leon (Lion King in spanish) DVD from there cause Amazon.ca did not have it. It cost me $6 bucks to ship to Canada.

Also, buy from Luke's link, I think he gets something for it :)

Even better, use the groovy Ultimate Disney Shop/Product Search thingy (that may or may not be the official name). You might find something else you like there too!

When I lived in Spain, both, Barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com shipped there. So I bet there's no problem to do it to Canada. They actually do ship there.

But now is that $6 as a flat shipping rate? Or is it because you bought within a certain range?

In any case-thanks for all your answers!

The shipping rates to Canada are:

Item / Per Shipment / Per Item
CDs, DVDs, music cassettes, vinyl $3.99 $1.99

So it'd be $5.98 for a single DVD, and $7.97 to ship two.

Works out to about $17.20 US

Prince Adam -> Luke has got the shipping right. $6 is not the greatest, but I have seen worst. But what are you gonna do if Amazon.ca does not have the selection......They even give you an estimated arrival time for the DVD to arrive, which is a pretty good bonus.
