I redid all my pre-orders (FF XV collector's guide, art & artifacts, playing with power, the zelda manga legendary series, Pokemon S/M collectors guide, etc.) and saved a fair bit. Too bad the Pokemon collector's vault is out of stock, that would be a good deal. Tempted to go in on one of the Final Fantasy triple packs or the Zelda chest...

my hunch is no, unfortunately. but it might be available in store, perhaps? it was actually in the holiday guide, not the regular flyer.
Cheaper by $0.48, it was $24.75 a few weeks ago, I couldn't cancel it since I had 15% ($21.04) off from the previous deal. I might re-order it hoping that it might go down in price again. Works with Playing With Power: Nintendo NES Classics as well as older titles. I finally got the Calvin and Hobbes Complete hard copy set for $78.75 (plus tax)
Damn amazon ca kept on giving me error whenever I edit/cancel an item.
The mobile trick doesn't work anymore.
If you order $50 worth of books on Amazon.ca right now (game guides, zelda art & artifacts, art of fire emblem, etc), you get 25% off each book. The discount is applied in the cart.

Has anyone bought from 401Games online? I preorder'd the MTG Commander 2016 Open Hostility deck when it was $34.99 now they dropped the price to $29.99.
They don't allow you to cancel your preorders but i'm hoping if someone knows if they at least update the older orders before the price drop.

You can't any more, unfortunately. You just have to wait and hope customs doesn't have it.

If it's not hung up, then it should be fine.
If it was like the Dead or Alive shipment, then it might be stuck for over 2 months.

Man, I thought that E3 discount would be a lot bigger on CoD. I guess It's still better than paying almost 90.
Ugh. I was hoping it was Indigo. So that I can use my discounter Indigo gift cardsIf you order $50 worth of books on Amazon.ca right now (game guides, zelda art & artifacts, art of fire emblem, etc), you get 25% off each book. The discount is applied in the cart.

1) I've been speaking to Book Depository, to find out if the one book did ship and what went on. I'd asked for my order to be cancelled less than a day after it was made, and before anything was shipped. Then, I got confirmation and a message from customer service saying it'd been done.
A day later, the one book shipped and they told me only one of two had been cancelled. Yet I then received a refund for both when I questioned what'd happened.
I asked if it had been sent out, and it has. It's coming from the UK. And it's been mailed.
They want me to refuse delivery, but I honestly don't know how I'm going to do that, although since I'm an honest person I would if I could. I have a community mailbox a mile down the road, and that's where they'll put it. Canada Post never comes to my door. And I have no idea of when it will arrive. Plus there's no tracking.
Wouldn't it cost them more for it to be sent back?
2) The controller works fine thankfully. I tested it tonight then put it away in my drawer. The buttons look a bit scuffed, but I guess you can't expect perfection from mass production. Each controller has some sort of blemish, I've noticed.
3) I ended up stumbling across the jersey section on Adidas.ca. Turns out they were selling the Team Canada World Cup of Hockey 2016 jerseys -- sans names and number plates -- for $80, the same as one other place. The difference, though, is that even though it said that the clearance jersey wasn't supposed to qualify for other promotions, it did.
At the end of the promotions I qualified for, I saved an extra 55% (there was a random 40% off sale I didn't notice until checkout, and I got a 15% off coupon for joining their mailing list). So, in total, a $160 plus tax jersey that was marked down to $80 on clearance cost me $41 plus tax and shipping. About $52 total.
I got the white one, because the red one was sold out in XL. I would've preferred red, but oh well.

Besides Mega Yarn Yoshi, Gold Mega Man, and maybe the Callie-Marie 2-pack, I think a lot of collectors have what they want at this point. Thank goodness for restocks.

Yup. That's what it is.

Was there an outer envelope (ie that the orange envelope was inserted into) or just one orange envelope sent on its own?
If its their fault (orange envelope empty) reach out to support for replacement.

Last three orders I had to have support chat cancel them for me. They basically deleted the order so that it doesn't even exist anymore, not even in history.

At NOA's headquarters in Redmond. Preferably with torches and pitchforks.
In Calgary, it seems every package I get from Amazon is now delivered by Intelcom. That being said, I don't think I've had any issues to date, besides packages being delivered around 6:30pm. Everything's come on time (the day it was supposed to be delievered), no weird calls or texts.
It was a grey packing envelope and... a brochure congratulating me on my new SIM.

When they're working well, the basic problem is they ring once and then leave. Sure, they are getting better about contacting you after 1-2 missed deliveries, but they lack the big selling feature of every other delivery service:
Redirecting to a pickup store.
UPS, Fedex, etc etc etc. You can probably find a store or allied business to pick up the package from. Since we virtually all have day jobs, this is important because delivery services try to do their job throughout the day. With Intelcom, it's their office or nowhere, their phones work during business hours only, and you're basically calling a secretary, not a package specialist.
I would take every package Canada Post if I could, simply because they will put it in my mailbox if it fits, and take it to the nearest of a zillion post offices if delivery is not an option. Worst case is picking it up tomorrow. Worst case with Intelcom is an endless tango of failed deliveries (or when improperly trained, the good ol' "left it on your sidewalk")
Weird, I've had multiple Intelcom packages left at my house when no one's home.
That's what I did for all my ps4 pro and some ps4 games. It's a pity FF15 was like $49 plus 30% off, I was thinking of asking if it's possible transfer the 30% off to another game but I don't wanna bug them lol

I keep considering doing this, but have to remind myself that I just don't use my Xbox One enough as it is to justify it, especially since I have a good PC and everything is there too now. If I had a 4k TV I'd definitely do it to get a cheap 4k Blu-ray player, though. There's some excellent deals on XBO S bundles right now.

Why do I have a feeling black Friday deals will be subpar compared to now
Black Friday has been crap for a while now.
too few deals, spread out over BF and Boxing Day. I'd prefer we just did boxing day and we might actually get one or two good deals

No. Just the slim.

I guess, when the book arrives, I'll just have to be honest and take it to the post office to tell them I "decline" delivery.
