Newegg fails at making a canadian site. Terrible prices.

All they did is make shipping available to canada, and instead of just allowing shipping from the .com, they had to glorify it with a whole new site.

The only reason I can see taking Newegg over NCIX is for those products you can't find there. The fact that they tax both GST and PST means I (resident of Ontario) automically pay 8% more on a Newegg purchase. I haven't checked shipping rates, though. But the way you guys are talking about it doesn't give me much confidence.

It blows. I did the math on my clan forums..


Lets say, for example, I were to buy a.. Hmm. Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600. Shipped to my front door.. All prices in CAD.

Off newegg.ca
Price: $201.49
Tax: $26.33
Shipping: $14.36
Total $242.18


Off directcanada.com
Price: $193.99
Tax: $10.34
Shipping: $9.99
Total $214.18


Off canadacomputers.com (Which is considered awful online shopping due to taxes)
Price: $199.99
Tax: $26.91
Shipping: 6.99
Total 233.89

And for <language> and giggles..
Off newegg.com to a US address translated to canadian currency
Price: $201.84
Tax: Nada.
Shipping: Nada.
Total $201.84

I did a similar test.

eVGA GTX 260

newegg.ca: 286+38+15 = 340
ncix: 289+15+15 = 320
dc: 309+18+10 = 337

NCIX/DC are next day shipping, and newegg is UPS standard...

Newegg.ca is converting the US prices exactly to a CAD amount, but the shipping and takes is what kills us. If they can set up shop here we would be laughing and the whole industry would lower their prices.
