U.S. Amazon.ca users? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I was wondering if anyone from the US has ordered from Amazon.ca, the Canadian Amazon site. If so, how long did orders take to arrive?

I was looking for a couple titles that Amazon.com didn't have, yet I found that they were available even cheaper at Amazon.ca so I tried ordering from them.

I've ordered from them once...ordered new version of Black Christmas and Lost Highway DVD's using the $10.00 CA off coupon...covered the shipping and a little more...took about 6 days to receive...

Black Christmas showed up unplayable, so I printed a return slip from Amazon.ca and planned to ship it back to them...before I could even ship it, they e-mailed me and told me not to worry about shipping it back, and they sent me another copy totally free...

I thought it was a pleasant experience, and I'll order from them again...if I could find a good deal........

I've ordered from them a few times. All my B5 box sets (3), plus the BSG box set. The cheapest shipping takes a long time - go for the next one up. It's much faster for not that much more $. All the stuff I've gotten from them was preordered, and with that shipping, I got it the same week of release.

To answer my own question, I have to say I was very happy with them.

I placed an order on Sunday, they were shipped out Monday and I got them on Wednesday. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for an order from US Amazon.com to ship.
