Launch day deals

It opened today, so far the pricing and launch promo's are

Terrrrrrrrrrrrrrible


Pricing is still above ncix/directcanada on a few quick comparison items and heck shipping is more then booth sites.

If you do bother to find a good deal, there's a $10 off promo code for first 4000 orders over $49.

Yawn, pricing is nothing special.  I had high hopes for this too.

We all did. The problem is they're shipping it in from the states. They won't hold up against NCIX, TigerDirect or CanadaComputers

I took a quick look and their prices on old DDR memory are the best I've seen anywhere in Canada.

Did you see the shipping charge though?

WHAT?! If they do that, we would get GST/PST + shipping + duty/brokerage charges?

Oh well back to NCIX, and price matching with shopbot.ca ;)

Yeah, odd that they are charging PST and shipping from the States.

NCIX is still the way to go.

If they are shipping from the States anyway then why didn't they let us buy stuff from them before?  Why bother rebranding, they could have just added international shipping options to the checkout...

I have to assume there is some stupid law I don't know about.

You'd think NAFTA would stop most stupid laws that keep them from shipping across the border....

Oh hey, I'm posting in a Canadia thread.
