Any Canadian members able to help me out here?

I'm interested in buying the Blu-ray Canadian exclusive releases of Fido and Slither, but it seems the only place where Fido is showing up is at HMV B&M stores. They have a 2 for 50 deal going on, and that would be a great way for me to get both Fido and Slither at the same time. Here is a picture someone from AVS posted:



Here is a couple of links for the stock availability for both titles:

Fido
Slither

If any of you can help me, I'll of course pay the full total and shipping charges, and a little on top of it. Heck, I could trade you some of my DVD Planet credit if you wanted, but shipping charges there could be crazy, I'm not sure. I have a few things I could even trade to you if you would rather do that, like the 2D/3D Journey to the Center of the Earth BR, etc...

Just let me know, thanks.

Are you aware of the outrageous Canada Post shipping rates? It cost me $8.55 to ship one SteelBook to the USA, so I image that two Blu-ray movies should be the same cost. If you are OK with that, I check into it tonight, for you. You have about two hours to let me know.

Cheers

Contrary to what a lot of people are doing, it is illegal to ship a Blu-ray movie as a O/S letter (about $3.00), without the CN22 sticker.

I ship all my Blu's to the US via lettermail, costs about $3.25, but do not tell the authorities!

That's a good way to get the movie seized at the border by US Customs.

US Customs wouldn't care about that, but Canada Post might.
