I will never order anything from the states again! - mrlayance - 11-17-2003

DMB DVD Live in NYC

Musictoday - $40.81 Canadian, total + duty if they charge me

Futureshop - $16.09 Canadian, total

I called MusicToday, they said I couldn't cancel because the item was already shipped? WTF, they should not ship until tomorrow.

Wow that sucks! What's the return policy?

- mrlayance - 11-17-2003

full refund, but it is just a hassel.

you should never order cds or dvds from the US.. Canada has much cheaper prices... electronics are a good bet to buy in the US though... especially with the Canadian dollar so high..

Yeah, but that doesn't go for all businesses, Lance :wink:
Don't be so quick to shoot us all down, here in the states.
Don't forget we have a used cd/dvd store that you are including in this. Without international orders, we would be hurting.
Just a thought.

We don't make it a point to rip people off...

I understand, I just can't believe the difference in price. You should buy up a few of those $13.99 DVDs. You could make a few bucks.

i'd return it, you'll save some$$$... future shop is an american franchise since they are owned by best buy, its hard to find a truly canadian store with comparable prices to future shop and walmart!

that is why i never preorder anything.

but don't forget that you get a bonus CD with that DVD.

I stopped ordering from the US after the Canadian dollar dropped to 65 cents US. Now that it's up to 76 cents, I was thinking about maybe ordering things from eBay again...but I have always found that online American stores have always been more expensive than Cdn ones. eBay is really the only place I ever found better deals outside Canada.

i never use ebay.COM only ebay.CA. Might as well keep my $$ in canada. That and it is hard to find people in the states that will ship to canada for a fair price
