Just paid $45 brokerage fee for an item I bought for $75. Damn you UPS ;_;

I remember once FedEx charged me $30 some dollars (I think for duty or something) on a Razer Kraken headset I bought off Razer's Canadian website.
UPS is pretty savage with that. I won't even order stuff from outside of Canada if they're using anything other than regular mail. If it doesn't say what they ship with and their customer service can't tell me I just don't bother.

If the company uses UPS for shipping, I won't purchase from them. Their fees on top of fees is crazy. And half the time they can't explain them to you.
Not a game, but a great deal on the Dark Knight Trilogy Bluray CE set:

$39 down from $89

Canada Post may be much slower but I have never ever been charged a single cent for any of my imports delivered by them. If you're not in a hurry to get your items I suggest going through the regular mail in the future.

I didn't give much thought when I purchased it since I thought brokerage fee would be around $10 like other couriers. Lesson learned. Never again.

So I finally got an email from paypal say that they'll be refunding my money back to my CC after that whole uncharted 4 ebay debacle. It just sucks that my name address and email are now probably part of some future identity theft scheme. D'oh!

Anyone who has made amazon orders this week I hope you've been keeping an eye on your orders, many items are lowering in price and it's breaking the promo discounts so you have to contact CS to get it adjusted.

Well no, it's either or.

Huh? FF12, and world of FF got normal base price drops and the drop broke the promo on both those items for me. If you're talking about something like say titanfall 2, which recently swapped from the 20% off pile to the save $30 pile you should still technically get the 20% off as that's what it was when you ordered, and price protection covers or should cover you the base drop to 49.96

Was just about to post this, Amazon matched Walmart for Titanfall 2. Pretty great deal especially with the previous 20% off.
The 20% off doesn't come along, unfortunately.

Whoops, thought I was in the E3 thread. Just catching up on the news now.
As per Amazon's price protection policy, if they decrease the price for whatever reason, they can't revoke your previous promotion.
People would be within their righjt to ask for the promotion to be applied to their order
If they have the energy, go for it
Did you go through Customer Service Rep or it just changed by itself?

My guess is that this year's promo is coded to not apply to games at their regular price, but previous promos had no such restriction which is why they still apply.

Also wondering this, I just put in an order with FF12 and Zero Time Dilemma, they only had 13% discount at checkout. I'm thinking I'll talk to Chat Support if it doesn't adjust.
Changed by itself. I pre ordered it on Tuesday.
Bestbuy has it at this price

All right, time to chat for Titanfall and World of Final Fantasy... So tired tonight, hope it will goes quickly.

you do know you're totally safe to make multiple orders I have like 4 that are using a combination of the promotions
Yeah I know. I just prefer to keep them all together, especially with Amazon since you can easily cancel individual items.

Does anyone know if any store doing the E3 pre-order deals have deals on PSVR games?
I can't find any at BestBuy or Amazon.

Interesting. I preordered it, in case it drops down to $80 and I can keep the 29% off.
Still seems like a lot compared to old preorder years. Bleh.

Thank you both. Hm, which one to get ...
I wish Robinson was there. Crytek makes amazing looking games.

That's not news. $70-20% apparently also equals $64. Needless to say, while it's being positioned as a 20% off promotion, the language on the back-end of Amazon's system is clearly something different (namely every game is $64 plus tax unless retail falls below $65 - in which case we'll give you 20% off OR unless you nag - in which case we'll give you 20% off because that's what we're representing it as).
Nintendo was already fucking us digitally. After tax in Ontario, Rhythm Heaven is almost $50. It was only a matter of time until retail started to follow. I'm going to be way more reserved in what I buy, I guess.
Even if it is just Amazon with the screw up, I don't think we're far removed from this fate.
We've sewn the wind. Let us reap the world wind.

I'm selling Mirror's Edge Catalyst PS4 in Greater Vancouver. It's brand new. $45. I'm fine losing money by selling it at this price. Someone take it off my hands.

I blame RFD and GAF.
This year is my smallest E3 haul ever. These deals are pretty awful. Decided that I'd make more sense to buy Pokémon day 1 in store rather than pay for day 1 shipping with Amazon. Still costs similarly even with the discount and would probably come days late.
Literally just got Watch Dogs 2, RE4, RE5, and Color Splash. I'm probably going to cancel Color Splash if it doesn't keep the 29% discount when the price gets lowered. Not going to pay $64 for Sticker Star 2.

I just want to take this time to say thank you to whomever decided to price Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition on amazon.ca at $19.99 (for the regular edition) and $29.99(for the limited edition), listing it the same as on amazon US instead of marking it up because of our currency.
Transitioning from buying stuff day one to waiting for it to get fall in price after a few months is going to be rough for me. I already was doing it for some things like Ubisoft games I was interested in but now I'm going to have to do it for nearly all my games :/
Funny thing is I already have the money set aside for the NX for launch but what's the point of getting it right away when I can't afford the games right away If Nintendo is going to continue this absurd price hike trend for Canada.
