Where can you order software from in Canada? Amazon.com and Newegg.com don't ship to Canada. Windows XP Professional costs $286.00 in the U.S. but sells for $499.00 in Canada. The Canadian dollar is on par with the American dollar right now. How can there be a $213.00 price difference?
Thanks for the advice we appreciate it. We found it for $280.00 and that include $30.00 shipping. The price difference for Canadians is insane. Who wants to spend half a grand for an operating system when you can buy the same piece of software an hour a way across the border for half the price?
Hey, we all know that feeling. Now that the dollar is on-par retailers do need to rethink their strategy. we are officially paying 20 dollars more than the US for games, 10 dollars more for Movies, and like 6-7 bucks more for CD's.
Its mass media like this thats goona need to change fast because people WILL start driving for an hour across the border to buy everything like this.
I can order games online right now from the US and by this time next year ill probably save about 300 bucks
http://www.ncix.com/ is good, cause they price match any advertised Canadian price... Their weekly advertised deals are great and since they are in BC, there is no PST to other provinces like Ontario - so I usually save more in tax than I pay in shipping.You can probably go in to get your parts and save the shipping.
http://www.directcanada.com/ is also good (most prices slightly better than NCIX)and has free shipping on orders over $300 (also in BC)
I also usehttp://www.anitec.ca/(also in BC), and for local pickup (for me near Toronto) http://www.canadacomputers.com/, http://www.pcvonline.com/ and sometimes http://www.tigerdirect.ca/ (usually high prices before rebates) for parts... all can be price matched at NCIX.
We need a newegg canada online retailer. We pay so much more for electronics, it's crazy. We pay a lot more taxes as well and all we get is free health care and hospitals with not enough doctors and nurses.
