Newegg CANADA? Looks like....

[James_8970]

The site is now up and operational. My first impressions.
1. Deals are not great, but they are still updating the content. I don't see any MIR yet, so I'm assuming prices will plummet when those are factored in (yay rebates /sarcasm).
2. They are charging me both GST and PST. I'm doubtful their warehouse is located in Manitoba..... does anyone else have the same issue?

How is the site up and operational for you? I'm still getting sweepstakes splashpage.

The fact that they're charging everyone GST and PST just reinforces my suspicion that everything's being shipped from the States - anything shipped across the border to customers would be charged GST and PST.

Yeah, just reviewed my e-mail and missed the word "exclusive", so I'm assuming I'm in the beta site. Personally I think prices are on par with NCIX (keep in mind, no rebates are listed on the site yet), though shipping is defiantly higher then NCIX, not quite up with TD, but still high. Again, this leads me to the conclusion that, as others have stated, the warehouse is in the USA.

Yeah, I finally got my "special invite" and have to say the pricing is not what I was expecting. Had a look through a few items and seems to be 10% + more expensive on non-sale price items. We'll have to keep our eyes open, maybe the MIRs or Sale pricing will bring it down to a better level.

Anyone know where exactly our constructive criticism is supposed to go? I'm not sure where the "proper channels" are. I kinda want to voice my option and see what's up with the PST/GST deal.

If you haven't been taxed on your >$20 shipments, you're very lucky. Just don't count on it every time!

You're right, sorry.

I guess I have been lucky.

My first impression is that there is no savings by shopping there especialy with pst charges. and there seems to be better deals at direct canada and ncix. Maybe they will catch on and adjust there pricing.
