Question about ordering from Amazon Canada

Just a quick question for you guys, I see that Brotherhood of the Wolf is $40.29 Canadian on the website. XE.com converts that to $25 US dollars. So if I order from Amazon Canada, will they charge me $25 and shipping?

There abouts. It will charge you whatever the exact exchange rate is the day your shipment is charged. But your card will be charged American dollars, which is always lower than the listed Canadian prices.

On a side note you might also want to check with your credit card company, sometimes they charge a fee for converting the money.

Hate to be the cynical threadjacker, but I've read too many of these "ordering from Canada" threads, like you're ordering from some alternate universe.

It really isn't rocket science . . . or?

Your card will be charged $C40.29 in Canadian dollars, which will be converted by your credit card company at whatever ripoff rate they are using to US dollars, and which will then have a fee of about 1-3% slugged on top of that. If it says $25 on XE.com, budget on $US26 showing up on your next statement.

Jarsim, I'm glad you said it, because I have been wanting to say something like that for a long time.

Can people just use common sense? It's a Canadian site with prices advertised in Canadian dollars selling mostly Canadian editions of DVDs. Why would they charge in US dollars?

Glad I got that off my chest.
