That's a 2-pronged question: with or without coupons/GCs?

Without GCs/coupons, IMHO http://Express.com was the best: very low shipping, no customs charges, and good cust service (ordered about 20 times from them). But alas, Express is currently dying a slow death.

Then there's http://Amazon.com - The only reason I shop through them is the free GCs that were available. Shipping is insane ($12CDN for 1 DVD), but you never pay custom charges.

BN is also ok. Overpriced DVDs, but lots of coupons, and CDN shipping so no customs charges.

That's about it. Without coupons/GCs you're better off locally with http://www.Futureshop.ca , http://www.absound.ca , and bunch of others that may have deals:

Thanks GoldfishLegs

The main reason I'm looking for US e-tailers is that I won some money on one of those Funbug Mastercards & figure I'll have to use it on a US store,Though maybe I'll try it at Futureshop first & see if it works ..Would save a lot of hassles I'm sure

Btw ,I checked out your Site & it looks Very Useful ..Great work !! I'll be a regular visiter I'm sure

Thanks Again

It helps if you have a friend in the US. Used up all the buy.com deals (which are, sadly, no more...) and had them all shipped to a US address. Then my friend would send them back to me in batches of 10-12, marking the package as "gift" with a very low declared value. I've saved tons of $$$ that way.

Without coupons and especially for mainstream titles, I would agree that Canadian prices are now often lower than US prices.
