Hey Everyone,
Every since I have been collecting DVD's I have been looking for a good Canadian online store. I have been to Chapters and Future Shop but they lack the selection of the big American online stores. Can anyone help me find a good Canadian site that has a good selection?
THANX ALL!

Have you tried www.totalactionuniverse.com ? Very friendly service, and seem to have a good selection. They have always been very prompt with my past orders.

I had my dealing's with dvdboxoffice gone bad 2 times, cause they sometimes don't have stock and they let you wait like 3 weeks.Then after tyou cancel the order they send an email asking if you want the DVD?
Then again you order the thing and they had me waiting again.So i gave up finnaly.They reply emails a bit late like 2 days but so far thier billing have been correct.

A&B sound are very good. I've used them a couple of times and their deliveries have been very quick to the u.k (3days & 5days).
DVDs are packed well too, the cardboard boxes that reel used to use. My only gripe is with the website, which doesn't have enough detail but overall a thumbs-up.

See the following for a list of Canuck DVD etailers with reviews 'n info for each.
http://goldfishlegs.com/SHOP/sDVD/sdvd.htm
Don't know what any of them are like for non-Canada buyers though. The ones with free worldwide shipping are probably best for non-Canada, but usually the worst for Canadian buyers because the titles prices are higher than usual to cover shipping costs.

Thanks. Kumar J.
I was thinking og cancelling my order at dvdboxoffice, since they are saying that they backordered the title I wanted. Of course, they did not marked "out of stock" on their web-page.
Anyway, you taught me that I need to wait at least three week. Thanks for the information.

I've used A&B Sound twice so far and the service has been fine. With the price of dvds going up, I can get it there cheaper than from some of the US stores. They can be a little slow but since you live in Canada, I'm thinking it won't be so bad for you....

I've ordered two discs from DVD Box Office. One of them was out of stock, but they were able to get MY DVD in about 3 days, and it only took 5 shipping days to the US.
