Don't you have to be a Prime member to order? I assumed being a Canadian Prime member wouldn't work, is that not the case?

dude no kidding this celery cleanse thing is fucking up my chili, and other recipes I just bought the celery heart from Costco froze it (cleaned and chopped) because mostly all them are going into a instantpot or stew
I was at a Vietnamese restaurant having a vegetable and seafood noodle dish and there was a lot of celery in it. I guess the prices are dropping because it was probably more expensive than the seafood at one point.
Anybody have a delivery estimate for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 from Amazon yet?
I know It's not available on reease day, but I thought I would at least have an estimate by now.

I've stopped ordering Switch games from Amazon long ago. Amazon has become unreliable with most games on release day over the past year or two, but Nintendo games get the worst of it
Is there a reason celery is so expensive right now? Last bunch I got was $6 for non-organic.
Cilantro seems pretty much out of stock everywhere as well.
Lousy planting season in California, plus a celery juice fad with da influencerz
Same. I want *something* for the trouble. Just nuking everybody ain't how this works.
Already guessed they wouldn't honor the FFVII Vinyl set few pages ago. Mine got cancelled too. It's priced 80 USD. It's pretty clear it's going to at least be 100$ here and not 37$. They certainly aren't going to eat 60$ a copy to make you happy. Price mistakes happen and they don't really have to honor them.
I'm irate! I'm incensed! I'm looking forward to fighting for credit considering I was gonna cancel it anyway!
Only because Amazon always either honoured it or gave credit. Any other retailer, we'd be thinking "wow that cancellation took them a while!"

Lmao entitled? It's fucking Amazon. I'll take them for whatever I can and more every single time they slip.
I worked in retail and we were always good about honouring price errors we made.

I do think Amazon is within their legal right to cancel but it's always good to know your rights.
Damn, that's quite load of info, and from what i heard that ACER is a superior for gaming, is that true?
I'm in QC with the most generous consumers protection law and stuff like this isn't covered mainly because.
1- It's not misleading or bait and switch
2- It's an obvious mistake considering the US price we know
3- It was a preorder and as such people weren't charged and no transaction took place
4-It was not possible to get stock of the items for this price.
Most provincial law will cover misleading price on articles in stores and flyers and stores usually add a bonus % discount on it as good faith. Like there is a price sticker correctly identifying the item on it and when you scan it at the register price is higher. Or if the item is priced lower in the flyer and scans at a higher price. In some cases it's also legal to print in store an erratum if it was a mistake too.
The RFD thread about this is hilarious.
Eh, I say let them have it. Amazon avoids taxes anyways lmao.
We are supposed to get angry over price error cancellations?
Welp, looks like I'm gonna go burn down a Staples. They cancelled my $300 but shoulda been $2300 laptop. Absolute scumbag company for not honouring me a free $2000.

The warehouse workers are probably pretty busy. You'll be fine
Meanwhile in the US Prime Day price errors were honoured big time!
Gotta invest in a forwarder. I put one on my amazon acc. I would recommend stackry
aw ic i'm actually not that familiar with forwarding services + AMZN what do you need to do? (if you don't mind me asking) also do they account for duty?
When Amazon CSRs say they'll give a "One Time Exception" favour, is it literally one time, like how Sony is with PSN refunds?
Related note, I got the ff7 remake vinyl promised at the same price after arguing and being ping-ponged around amazon reps for about an hour. Dunno if it was worth it yet. Would have honestly been fine with like, 10 amazon bucks

That's insane. I would have bought so much camera gear...
So depending on the items you're buying some items will ship to you from amazon.com/co.uk/co.jp directly to you. Some will need a forwarder.
When you sign up to a forwarder you're given an address to send to and an account number to use on your shipments, and you'd just begin to ship stuff to those addressses if it's in the states for example. Stackry specifically will give you a notice that something arrived at your locker, and then give you a couple options one of them being repackaging the boxes, either keeping the original box or discarding that and using their plain ones. They don't check anything inside it so they'd need you to declare whats inside and that's what they'd put on their invoices once it goes across the border. You can just see how much the duties usually will cost right under the prices on the .com site it also mentions the duties you have to pay shipping it to Canada or elsewhere.

I think it's free 1 day shipping if you live in certain areas and your total is over $25. I forgot about that the other day and just added something to my order to tip it over the $25 limit and I got free 1 day shipping.
Cool, thanks. It's probably a generic message, but still odd that they wouldn't mention 1 day shipping to certain cities. Here's that part of the message:
Won't make much difference to me, I rarely use one day shipping (I got frustrated by prices going down a day or two after I buy something and amazon refusing to adjust so I use the slowest shipping so I can cancel and rebuy if the price goes down). Still, it feels like we were promised so much in the beginning only to have it get clawed back.
Not true, even if you contact the bank and seller about it coming due.
To add on to the current discussion re: Amazon's cancellation over a price error, I feel it's worth noting that Amazon being reliable in not cancelling orders placed on items that had price errors (double 20% E3 orders, Xenoblade Chronicles X, etc.) was the last thing they had going for them since Prime doesn't ship on time and their deals are, at best, the same you'd find at WalMart, BestBuy or EB...at best. There isn't any incentive to shop there any more if you shopped almost exclusively for gaming outside compared to the competition. We just came off Prime Day, the so-called "Black Friday in July" sale where the offers compared to US customers was pitiful; the best deal we saw was another price error, this one being for an SSD. Point being, Amazon is trash when it comes to hunting for game deals outside of these blunders. Given how expensive games are to purchase compared to other forms of entertainment and how much money Amazon rakes in (while treating their employees like garbage and not paying a cent in taxes on their ludicrous profits), I can't exactly be bothered that people got annoyed by the cancellation.
Obviously that doesn't justify harassing customer service just so you can squeeze some credit out of their comfortable coffers nor does it mean you should expect the next major blunder on Amazon to be honored but, again, it is understandable that people weren't expecting this since they used to be reliable when it came to not cancelling error-driven orders.

That MUA3 $25 gift card from Walmart isn't of much use to save on the game when they actually have no stock online or in store...
My local store didn't get any, and none showed as coming soon.
