It's worth investigating some of the advertisers directly. Thriftbooks was brilliant a few years...

Re: Amazon.ca is pants!

Yep, irritating that one.



Inclusive of delivery £13.64 on Canada and £10.49 on USA. £3 less. An easy choice.

But did you notice that on the Canada site, it was available on the Marketplace...

Re: Amazon.ca is pants!

Cost has been mentioned throughout the thread as well as selection.

It's worth emphasising the point so people don't carry on with...

...but his recovery was aided by the discovery that there were times when it was actually better and he now lives in Upstate New York to be closer to Canada.:rofl:

Re: Amazon.ca is pants!

Yes. It's a little known fact that when he was connected up to the machines in hospital he was able to access an early version of the internet, but they didn't want ordinary people to know and it was...

Re: Amazon.ca is pants!

I only made one point...I wasn't talking about the cost of the call and whoever bore it, my point was about the additional cost, over and above the cost of a normal call.

Re: Amazon.ca is pants!
