| | Posted: | | | | Apple has really gone to heck in a handbasket in the last few years. The iPhone 4 disaster is one thing, and all the problems with iOS4 in upgrading 3G phones makes one wonder if they hired a bunch of Microsoft QC people or something. What a mess. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

and all the problems with iOS4 in upgrading 3G phone I know. I tried 3 times. Once even waiting 5 hours to create a backup copy before i finally just deleted nearly everything of the iPhone before staring again. I can't believe 8 GB (lees even, as i still have space) takes over 5 hours to even get to 10%!!! What a disgrace!! Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | continuing on my post above- But today I wish I was an American living in Paradise...  Just checking out the differances today between Amazon.com and Amazon.ca . Is Canada's Amazon Web site a ripoff or what? .. Looking at the (i.e) Wanted Dead Or Alive complete 94 episode (11 discs) Complete Season set for $16.49 , (1 day shipping for orders over $25.00) .,, ? Canada's Amazon site? $27.99 and orders over $39.00 can get 5 day shipping  .. The CDN dollar today is trading at .94.7 US for Canadian dollar ..  This is why I don't use Amazon movie sales. and Netflick's ? Not available in Canada... and EVEN if we did have the equivalent it too would be no where close to the value of what Netflicks give to their American customers.. Ah it must be nice to live in the land of Plenty ..  | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | Surely you can order from Amazon US whenever you like? You don't need to live in the land of plenty to do so.
On the other hand, my experience is that Amazon CA often ships faster than Amazon US (to Europe anyway), and of course they have some movies (French in particular) that Amazon US and even Amazon FR don't have.
But of course, it helps to compare prices. | | | | Hans |

But of course, it helps to compare prices. customs hold the order at the border for up to 21 days sometimes... Then there is GST / PST/ HST Custom 'broker' fees etc etc .. can add up to $30 sometimes ....  | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

Have you tried Zip.ca? I've been a member since 2004 and have no complaints. I do think their plans are a couple more bucks than Netflix', but it works great. True, they don't have streaming, which would be awesome, but even for just the mail rental system it's well worth it to me. And failing that, apparently Netflix is coming to Canada in the fall: http://www.netflix.ca/ | | | Tags, tags, bo bags, banana fana fo fags, mi my mo mags, TAGS!

I know, that happens occasionally when importing to Europe (19% sales tax and 15 Euro handling fee), including a 4-6 weeks delay (solution: small packages and accept the higher transport costs), but I thought the US and Canada were together in some customs union? | | | | Hans |

I've never paid brokerage, GST, PST or HST on any book, or movie ordered from Amazon.com and being sent to Canada unless it is some obscure item not normally available in Canada. Everything else comes in an Amazon.ca box and is shipped from the normal Canadian warehouse. Sans taxes and brokerage. Then again I've never paid brokerage or taxes on any shipment from Amazon.co.uk either | | | | Last edited: by polargeek |

This story never gets stale and is in the news every day ..... How many of you have the 4G phone?
I hear now that Motorola has brought out a 4G phone.. Maybe I should look into that product over the next few months while Apple sorts out their issues with the American people first . Ah today .. Is the first day of the rest of your life .. Or in our case The Apple IPhone4 is available today.. and the lineup I heard for this morning at 6:30 am was two city blocks ...... | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.
