It is legit. It's all over RFD, however I used it once and never got my cashback.
Although, I was told not use adblock because it can mess up tracking of links on Ebates and I forgot to disable it -.-

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Try Shoppers.

Yeah Ive used it once before for a couple sites ended up getting about 25$ cashback through them. It worked fine and I received my pay out it can just be easy to forget about
For those looking into trying PS VR.. locations and dates are up for Canada.
https://www.playstation.com/en-us/explore/playstation-vr/trial/
Just put in your postal code in the zip code section. Make sure to check the actual dates the demo will be available.
Me, I'll probably drive to Western Ottawa to get to try it this Saturday.

Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll likely check it out in Kitchener. Really curious about VR but it's not something I'm wiling to put that much money into without trying it.
Awesome, it's coming to me city. Do we know if there is an age limit to this? I would love to go along with my 8 year old

Do we know what games they're showing? That will determine if I go or not.
Not sure if it'll follow the same list available as in the US.
Going by PS Blog that's the list
- PlayStation VR Worlds
- EVE: Valkyrie
- Headmaster
- Battlezone
- SUPERHYPERCUBE.
I'm not sure what I'll want to try. Probably Battlezone or EVE I guess.

Ok... so this is the first time I have ordered from the source online. Absolutely trash. First I got a email saying my stuff had shipped with a purolator tracking number, great I thought package is on it's way! check the tracking number the next day....this package doesn't exist. talk to purolator, yup doesn't exist. Call back the source and get told that they are reshipping and that I would get a new tracking number through email...still nothing contacted them today. Still no tracking number and still hasnt been shipped. WTF
Sorry for the rant, I just have terrible luck buying things online.

Hmmm. Considering Richmond Centre - about a 20-minute drive for me. But I'm really hesitant due to potential lines. It is not worth more than 30 minutes of waiting to me.
There's an extension for browsers.

I bought a blender from them once thanks to a ridiculous coupon, and then every other time there was a Shop.ca coupon I would look through the site and find absolutely nothing worth buying at the prices they had. The few games they had were constantly sold out. Then they switched to Aeroplan promos and any reason to go to the site evaporated overnight.
The Elite
BOSS
Shop.ca was great for a while.
Huh...so they're bankrupt now. I completely forgot they even existed after that $25 off deal from Paypal.
Well, for what it's worth I've had a Purolator package in my community mailbox once, which was very unexpected.

There was someone here who worked there right? I think a lot of people got their cheap PS4s from there.
Good luck. They couldn't even figure out how to ring my doorbell the last time I had something shipped Purolator. I spent two full days held hostage in my home waiting for them to deliver the package, and they never rang my bell and left notices on my neighbour's door both times. They forced me to walk all the way out to their place in the middle of nowhere that didn't even have sidewalks to get my package, because they said they couldn't make more than two delivery attempts, even though they never made a single attempt to deliver the package where they were actually supposed to.
Same issue with the ps3. Was hoping there might still be some new ones for cheap but nope.
Ooh thanks for the heads up that it is out.

I pre ordered the bundle on a lark and am wondering if I should bother going to one of these. Hesitant to use a public VR setup in the first place and given the apparent scarcity of these things at release, even if I get it and hate it/makes me sick I'm sure I can sell it to someone locally if need be.
The Source is usually really good with shipping, though they normally use Canada Post from my experience. You can thank the fear of a strike for your experience lol. That's probably why they're using Purolator.

I've demoed Until Dawn and Playroom. Both were pretty neat. But I don't think I'm willing to spend $750 (or even $500) on VR right now, before taxes. It's too early.
Nothing in the Brampton/Mississauga! What the hell!?
I ordered from them once, using a "+shopca" suffix on my Gmail address. Immediately started getting a ton of marketing spam from different companies to that address, with matching junk mail to my home address. I emailed them asking for their personal data policy (thought it could be breaching anti-spam laws?) but never got a reply.
Good deal
Not a ton of locations in Toronto
- I guess its worth the trek to try it out? How bad do you think lines will be?Experience going well already. Tracking is saying "delayed to weather" even though it's a perfect day out there.
What they mean is that your delivery person has abandoned their truck to go frolic in the sunshine

USED PC parts? Can't say I've ever heard of a storefront that does this. Seems predominantly/entirely the domain of eBay or Kijiji.

I have no idea. I'm hoping that the ones this week-end should be low-key enough that lines shouldn't be too bad.
But after that words will spread from people that found out through just walking in the store I guess?
Honestly, your guess is as good as mine.

$95 for a shirt!?
It looks really nice, but that's absurd. Twenty-five is tempting, but I'm fat so slim fit wouldn't work.
