Incognito Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 There is a store going out of business in BC which is having a 50% off sale this week (I think this is as deep as the discount will get). There are a lot of good books available, with pretty good prices. I'm not sure what shipping is like to other places, but you could try it and see if it is worth it for you. And if you want any good books about Canada, there are a lot of options too. :) http://onestoplearning.ca/ ETA: I should mention that the prices are in Canadian dollars - so they are lower than they look. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitterpatter Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Although I have shipped packages to Canada and other countries, I don't order many things across the border (mostly just from the UK via Amazon used books or Book Depository). Do Americans get hit with any kind of taxes, fees, etc. for purchases over a certain amount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Sorry, I don't know how that works. In general, books do not have a high duty (at least coming the other way). Clothing does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I don't know whether to curse you (I just spent $227), or thank you (50% off of stuff I wanted anyway, mostly) or curse you for not telling me BEFORE I placed the $50 rainbow resource order a few days ago. Still I think I'll thank you. The shipping wasn't cheap, but the total bill was still less than I'd bought the stuff elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitterpatter Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Darn it! Surfed around too long...5-6 All About Spelling books/packets jumped out of my cart. ETA: Thanks, OP...still got checked out with some goodies. Hopefully, it all ships. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Not to crush hopes too much, but apparently their online inventory doesn't clear out automatically, so they are having to do it manually - so you may not be able to get what you want. They just don't charge for what you don't get. For instance, I was getting a couple of Singapore books, but my level was sold out before my order was compiled. I think this Friday is the last day - so it's done tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitterpatter Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 This is what I'm afraid of. If they are out of AAR 4, I don't want any my order due to shipping. I hope they would give US customers the option of canceling.

Guest mnoll0001 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Wish I had seen this a few days ago. Looks like they had some awesome sales, but they are no longer taking internet orders. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I changed my mind on RightStart secondEdition book bundle. So, if anyone missed out they have at least one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitterpatter Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Has anyone received a shipped notice yet? Starting to worry a bit. ETA: Oddly enough, I just received a notice and refund for my entire $150 order. Apparently, they were out of everything. Ah, well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 After I placed my order. I got worried about the verbiage that said the shipping would be calculated later. So, I sent them an email. Just yesterday I got an email on what was in stock and said that my order was boxed up. They are going to email me back when they know shipping. Apparently customs is a pain in the toosh.

pitterpatter Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I did wonder whether they decided heck with my order and just canceled it all. After I placed my order.
