Re: Amazon.ca Sightings

Yes, Amazon.ca has a messed up pricing algorithm, but, in my opinion, their customer service is second to none. I've never had an issue getting an exchange or refund and their CSR's are very polite. Both .com and .ca's shipping prices are also super cheap. Even with the import charge, .com's shipping is still cheaper than a lot of Canadian e-tailers. Another thing that I prefer about Amazon is that they don't charge your credit card until they ship your order (and yes, this includes preorders as well). I'm sick of buying things from other websites and they charge you up front for a preorder, but then randomly change the release for the order or take their sweet time shipping your order (I won't list those sites). I preordered an S.H. Figuarts Frieza from .com and when the release date arrived, the price of the figure dropped by $15.00 US and I was only charged the remainder. When Amazon behaves themselves, they're really a great place to get your stuff.

Re: Amazon.ca Sightings

Can we assume that we just aren't getting a Amazon.ca release of Blastoff at this point or is there still hope out there for me? I mean the page listing changed the stock photos again, but It's been a week since it went live on .com and still nothing.

Also, here is a picture of tip toe blast off

Re: Amazon.ca Sightings

Is it possible for a Canadian to be a Prime member on Amazon.com?

I am a .ca prime member, just signed up on .com for the free 30 day trail so I could order nemesis prime.

Yes, but it isn't worth it since it will cost you more in the long run and you won't get fast shipping if you're shipping to a Canadian address (plus import fees). I'd say it really isn't worth it.

Re: Amazon.ca Sightings

Amazon.com Prime has many other benefits, but the main ones are free shipping and very fast shipping, that doesnt help in Canada, and they have some online programming apparently, not sure if you can access it in Canada. I also understand its quite expensive. Signing up for the temporary .com Prime might be ok as long as its easy to cancel without future issues.

Re: Amazon.ca Sightings

I didn't wait and backordered Blast-Off from .com and preordered the next 2 exclusive as well. If somehow we get these sooner at .ca I can always cancel the .com orders.

As for Nemesis Prime I gave up and preordered the Japanese release from amiami. I will stop my Prime subscrition before the free month deadline. At this point I have no faith in Amazon.ca. Screw them!

Re: Amazon.ca Sightings

Just got a confirmation from .com that blastoff has been shipped.

I would agree with you QuadESL63, screw .ca (for these exclusives.)
