Now I just need a formula calculator that compares US ship rates vs Canadian ship rates. And then I will rule the world, one DVD at a time.

We are currently able to ship books, CDs, DVDs, VHS videos, music cassettes, and vinyl records to Canadian addresses. There is a good likelihood that your packages will be subject to the customs fees and import duties of Canada. See both International Shipping Restrictions and Customs Information for more details.

The total shipping charge will be displayed on the last page of the order form, before you submit your order. Here is the equation we use to calculate the total shipping cost:

(Highest Applicable Per-Shipment Cost) + (Number of Items x Per-Item Cost) = Total Shipping Fee

Do you know if you can buy from Amazon.com and get them to ship to Canada? It would be worth it for the price difference on some books.

I have a friend who runs a book store and he explained the reason why the prices are different and haven’t re-adjusted based on the currency fluctuation is because they have to do a separate print run for Canada.

I would have thought the gratuitous use of the letter “u” would have given me away.

I did not know that you are a fellow Canuck.

Thanks for a few new online shops for me to check out!
