[Fuzzy]

did somebody say no tax weekend on amazon.ca?!?!

It would be awesome if Amazon.ca starting copying RCSS no tax events on the regular.

 

[Kyolux]

Shiiiiiiit that's amazing.

Spoiler

they're probably charging taxes for anything that's not shipping by next week aren't they?

I'm going to cry when they cancel everything. But I love to live dangerously!

 

[Mimosa97]

I'll have to change my adress again in the near future as I'm moving apartments so even if I do the trick on preordered games it will be canceled once I change my adress right?

I can't find a way to change my adress to pick up

 

[chrominance]

Thinking of ordering a new CPU/RAM/motherboard, but ideally you want to buy all those things at once (especially with how finicky Ryzen is with RAM) and I have wildly varying delivery dates for everything. Might be too precarious to try for tax-free on all that. Ah well.

 

[xanavi]

It's likely only orders charged today will be tax-free. I still changed all of my orders and picked up an elite controller.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Applied this to Metroid: Samus Returns (Now $39.99), Metroid Prime 4 (Now $63.99), and The Art of Overwatch (Now $78.60).

Should I edit my info for my 40% Splatoon 2 Order?

I don't care if I lose the release date shipping too much (Don't have a Switch right now) but I want to keep the 40% off, obviously.

 

[VanCityGamer]

The tears and meldowns in this thread if they cancel everyones orders!

Spoiler

I'll cry manly tears too

There's no way they do that. Worst case scenario, the taxes just show back up.

 

[Mimosa97]

It's a good time to buy kindle books. Instant delivery.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Thanks for the tip about the taxes, I've saved so much money from this thread lol. Its actually cheaper for me to get Splatoon 2 from amazon than walmart, but they already sent my noodles so if I cancel Splatoon 2 they are gonna charge me shipping on that.

 

[SickBoy]

Only in this thread can you ever expect to see "I'd rather buy the game (somewhere else), but Walmart already shipped my noodles."


(Post-office pickup FTW)

Will orders lose the 40% off glitch if you edit payment options on them?

Mine weren't affected, but I changed shipping option (although I don't think it makes a difference). If your worried test it out on a pre-order you were on the fence about keeping anyway.

 

[Dazzler]

It's hilarious that, in 2017, N3DS is still priced at $240 - for a six year old handheld

It ended up keeping the discount.

Splatoon 2 for $47.99 shipped!

 

[Returners]

Not gonna risk the 40% orders.

Updated the rest of my orders' payment method to my new CC.

 

[Fuzzy]

Yeah, that's normal activity. :lol

 

[Mhee12Bee]

For now, my 20% seems ok

 

[ILoveMcChickens]

Ended up changing payment methods on all my preorders - all the discounts seem to be intact. I lost release day shipping on Splatoon 2 though - which kinda sucks.

 

[Mimosa97]

Just impulse bought a laptop from the amazon warehouse. 500$ and no taxes. Mmmhhhh.

 

[Fuzzy]

You don't need to change payment methods, just add a free gift note. In the few cases it won't let you do that you pick to change your shipping method and then just reconfirm whatever you already had selected.

I lost release date delivery adding a free gift note on Splatoon 2. Doesn't work.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

You know what, fuck Nintendo for the way they handled the 2nd wave of Zelda 30th anniversary amiibos. I was able to walk in on the 1st wave and get OOT (and could've gotten WW and the original if I wanted), whereas I couldn't walk in on this wave anywhere.

This exclusivity crap is bullshit.

 

[doctorcdcs]

was the glitch fixed? i tried to update the CC info on an amiibo and the tax is still there.

 

[Returners]

Seems like they're starting to fix it:
Tried ordering Dragon Ball Fighters Z and it's charging me tax.

 

[FairXchange]

Appears the tax glitch is fixed.

 

[The Main Event]

I re-ordered Hitman on PS4 earlier, pending transaction on my Visa card showing up at 29.99. So the glitch seems to be working.

 

[Fuzzy]

That means this glitch lasted at least 5 hours, that's longer than the double 20% off the weekend before E3.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Guys do we know when XBX preorders will be up? This delay is weird.

 

[N° 2048]

When it's cleared by the FCC.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

Managed to get Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Monster Hunter Wold and the Shadow of the Colossus remake before they fixed the tax glitch. Only failed when I tried to update my Ni No Kuni II order...

EDIT: If it does work, getting these at 63.99 is almost like having a 30% off on the list price.

i woke up only a few minutes before they fixed it. i managed to get everything except one amiibo "adjusted". Phew!

Spoiler

Unless they cancel everything in the end, in which case: D'OH!

Didn't bother to use this on the E3 50$ games... I was already saving 30$ off on these games.

 

[Mimosa97]

And now we wait

 

[Returners]

And now the waiting begins...

Will Amazon honor?

EDIT: lol ^

It was a "scorched tax" policy on my orders. nothing was safe

I was also sitting on the toilet and had nothing better to do at the time.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Same here - I really hope they don't cancel the orders or remove the 40% glitch on those E3 orders though.

I could see them re-applying tax and apologizing for the inconvenience with promo credit or something, but I really don't think they want the backlash that comes from mass canceling entire orders. (Especially right after E3)

 

[chrominance]

I can't imagine they'll cancel orders now. Five hours worth of Amazon orders placed across the entire site is a lot (not to mention edited orders), and you can't just assume all those people knew about the glitch. That said, who knows what they'll do with pre-orders and orders that aren't shipping immediately.

I already have a pre-auth charge for some RAM I bought to be delivered tomorrow, and it has no tax. That said, I made the mistake of checking the price history of that RAM, and YIKES. I knew DDR4 RAM was going up in price but this is 1.5x the price at minimum. Wallet am cry

 

[Sniffynose]

Lmfao you guys xD

 

[Ventara]

Damn, I should have done things in the morning. Had to step out and was hoping I can still pick some stuff up with no tax when I came back. Anyways, I did adjust some orders I was planning to cancel, though I'll still probably cancel them eventually, lol.

 

[Bronetta]

Went tax free on $50 preorders, 40% discounts, amiibo, and even created a few new orders (Yoshi, Kirby, Metroid Prime 4, Dragonball FightersZ, Anthem).


I give no fucks.

 

[_Final_Phoenix_]

Aww man, I just had to be asleep. Good few items that get pushed out of my budget by the tax. Ah well, nothing too important, thankfully.

Between this and the e3 glitch, we should really have a group twitter account that a couple people from here manage to specifically tweet about this time limited stuff, since I assume the Canada Deals twitter isn't willing to tweet about these, either because they don't seem completely above board, or that they don't want it to be ruined by its thousand of followers.

Seconded. Follow this thread and you're going to get some good deals due to short errors, but probably not every single one.
