Have any you guys used these types of sites? I'm looking to pick up a pop-up tent for ice fishing and CTC's price for a simple Frabill 2 man is $300. Amazon offers the same product for $189.
Why such a price difference and should I have any concerns with using a place like Amazon.ca?
For the first couple of years we lived here in Nunavut we spent a pile of money shopping on Amazon and never had a bad experience. Until they introduced Amazon Prime most things shipped for free which was a hell of a deal when you live in a remote fly in community. I would still not hesitate to order things to my house in Ontario (and often do). I have never found there to be a too good to be true deal however there are some things that sell for way more on their site. If you have done some research and found it is the best price then I would recommend buying from them. Make sure you are on the Canadian website and not the American website as the American site rarely ships to Canada in my experience. It looks like you are looking at the Canadian site though. Hope this helps and that I don't lead you astray.

My wife uses Amazon.ca a lot. She has very good luck with them, is always amazed at how fast the goods arrive. She has never had a problem with them, other than they sometimes double ship, and when she informs Amazon, they always say ... just keep it .easier than trying to return it. She finds their prices very good. Some goods are slightly used, and the ad the item is in shows that. She will use them again.
Never had a bad experience with Amazon. I clear the cache after ordering though - just to be on the safe side.
I use Amazon all the time for music stuff and have never been burned yet. Some times delivery can be slow but that's my only complaint
We have used amazon.ca a few times too. so far so good. Like it was mentioned before, just make sure you do your homework first and are buying the same item, you did your research on.
I've used Amazon many times, as previously stated, know your prices before hand...30 day money back guarantee is nice as well...never had a problem with them before.
I've used it many times. Never had an issue, except once. I ordered a pretty standard Timex watch ($40). For some reason, the lines must have been crossed in their order system and they sent me a childs watch. Contacted them and they immediately sent a new one, no comment on returning the old one. New one came, same kids watch, contacted them again, same kids watch. Kept all three and gave them away to kids I knew. Never got the watch I wanted, but got 3 for the price of one.
Yes, I do a lot. I never had an issue and the only time I have been shipped the wrong item, no question asked, free shipping back and credited quickly. Cheaper for me to pay shipping than go to the city
Just watch the prices though, not always the best and by far (I.e. Lee realized kit was a lot cheaper at cabelas).
I have had good luck with amazon.ca . On my first purchase (a Condor knife) I saved a lot, nearly 40% off anywhere else. On my second purchase (a Wheeler hollow ground screwdriver set) I saved about 15% over Cabela's. Fast shipping. So far, two thumbs up.
