Amazon.ca vs Amazon.co.uk
Yeah, so, I recently purchased a CD from http://www.amazon.co.uk. The same CD was available on http://www.amazon.ca. It is a UK band and the CD is not yet available in Canada domestically.
The price on amazon.ca was $38.99 CDN before tax and shipping and handling charges. Including those, the price would go up to about $50.
Now. I bought the exact CD from amazon.co.uk for ... and this is after converting pounds to dollars and the shipping and handling cost ... $21.50! Christ! That's a saving of over $25.
Canadians: when buying import CDs via amazon.ca, go to the source country (in this case it was England). You'll fare much better.
I also bought a boxset for the equivalent of $89.99 CDN while amazon.ca had it listed for $159.99! I saw it in the shoppes here in Toronto and it was listed for 129.99 - a saving still of over $40.
Do not buy DVDs unless you have an 'non-regional' DVD player.
