taxes are the same plus duty plus ship, so costs more. try making an account and bring to checkout to check it out

ah, ok. Thanks guys, will have a look.

However, some of the added shipping and duty costs are negated by the price of the items themselves.


For example, the Ironhide/Prowl set is priced at $39.99 USD at Amazon.com, and $59.99 at .ca. So, roughly an exchange rate of 1.50.


The current US/CDN exchange rate is around 1.35-1.40 (and possibly even better), so that shaves a few dollars off, making ordering from Amazon.com a viable option. Yes, you are paying more, but not obscenely more.

So I recently returned the 60$ Gigawatt cause they didn't price match it to the 42$ price they had.

They refunded my total, but not my coupon I had used.
I contacted Amazon chat and got my $5 coupon back!

Here's the chat-script, in case it can help anyone else.
---

Amazon:I've checked and see that the refund for the amount of CDN$ 63.22 was issued to your credit card on December 8
You should be able to see the refund after 3-5 business days.

Me:I also paid with a 5$ gift card. I got the $63.22 back, but not the 5$ gift card.

Amazon:The promotion applied to the order will not be refunded.

Me:That's not right. The coupon was usable like money for amazon orders. I should get that back.

Amazon:However, as an exception I will add this amount to your account.

Amazon:I'm issuing a $5.00 promotional certificate to your account. This amount will automatically apply the next time you order an item shipped and sold by Amazon.ca. You won't need a claim code. For more information about using your promotional certificate visit: http://www.amazon.ca/promos/

Me:This is great. Thank you very much!

My Ironhide/Prowl got shipped. Dec 19th estimated delivery date. Not in a rush, just happy it’s arriving.

[Abominus Prime]

My prowl/ironhide 2 pak arrived today now fingers crossed for the Coneheads 2 pak.

Just curious, what are the odds of a restock of Ironhide and Prowl?

[Scrapper6]

Fuckety Fuck FUCK! I got a delay e-mail on shipping my Ironhide/Prowl from Amazon.ca... If they fucking cancel on me I'm going to fucking be really pissed off.

It seems they've taken payment finally, but why the fuck would they send a delay e-mail when they have a ship date of Arriving December 18th-24th.

If you had it in stock and charged me after a few issues that I finally managed to resolve you better not fucking cancel or I'm getting the fuck off Amazon and not ordering shit all from them any further.

I've had it up to here with Amazon problems for this year.
