Newegg.ca - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!

yup there you go

meh. Not impressive in the least. Not very good prices. Charge PST in all provinces (except AB obviously). Uses UPS and ships from the USA. These three reasons will make it fail.

**kris23** · Oct 5, 2008, 11:56 PM

yup.... lol saw it earlier today.....

how old is it?

actually the prices aren't to bad imo..

however UPS is a major problem as they simply won't ship to me still which is a problem.. which means i can't order from them

CDsDontBurn · Oct 6, 2008, 12:40 PM

i thought they have a FedEx option...

Judas · Oct 6, 2008, 11:07 PM

lol

fedex

they are worse than UPS

Fedex won't ship shit all around here...

i've explained this countless times about the shipping situations out here, they don't give a flying

if it says to your doorstep or not, they aren't moving a 1/4 mile outside the boundries of the 2 major cities.

It pays to buy locally in Canada. NewEgg.ca is basically NewEgg.com with a Canadian shipping option.

Agree 100% with Lowfat

Does that mean you end up paying customs? When buying from the us in Canada and using UPS/Fedex, it gets expensive fast with their rates and the customs.

NCIX does not charge provincial tax in many provinces in Canada. I usually buy at NCIX or locally. It amounts roughly to the same price to buy at NCIX rather than locally because the provincial tax is replaced by the shipping cost. They also pricematch other Canadian online stores. I buy at NCIX if I want a lot of choice to make a custom pc and I buy locally when I want basic stuff like keyboard/mouses.

no there is no brokerage/customs. All brokerage fees are are taxes + a small fee. Since you are already paying both taxes, UPS can't charge you anything else.
