Another tale of Canadian retail online follies

Filed under: Gaming, Humour — Tags: , , , — Nicholas @ 08:45

The most recent season of The Guild got released on DVD this week. I’m certainly going to be ordering a copy, but there appears to be a hitch: it’s not (yet) being carried by my usual online suppliers. Amazon.ca doesn’t have it listed yet, and Chapters/Indigo says it won’t be available until May 25th.

Amazon.com says it’s shipping right now.

And this will be another case of “nobody wants it” in Canada when it finally does become available through Canadian channels because anyone who wanted it already ordered it from US sources.

  1. Amen. And the shipping is far better through .com than .ca.

  2. I actually hadn’t noticed much difference, practically speaking. Most of my orders with .ca qualify for free shipping, which means it gets sent the cheapest method they can manage. I pay shipping for my .com orders, but I’m a cheapskate, too. 😉
