Re: Newegg coming to Canada!!!
said by DKS  :said by TigerLord :PC lovers and modders, REJOICE!!! Newegg is coming to Canada!!! » www.newegg.ca/This is awesome! We'll have fierce competition and NCIX will now be forced to offer good customer service again  Competition is not a bad thing, but I have zero complaints about NCIX. However, if Newegg is coming to Canada, they will have a long way top go to beat NCIX. NCIX not charging 8% PST for Ontario residents is a major competitive advantage, as are their low cost shipping deals. I just purchased an nVidia GTX 260 for $239 plus shipping and PST and after a $40 MIR ($278 total cost). I just purchased a 1GB 4870 direct from Diamond Multimedia in California for $299 with $15 shipping (total $314) and no taxes whatsoever. Just hoping customs won't do me in the butt too badly but as the Sapphire equivalent sells for $369 in Ottawa, plus taxes, I think I'll come out ahead even with some reasonable duties.
My local reseller is buying my factory-overclocked 3870 and I'm selling some textbooks so this will end up costing me about $50 for doubling my speed and my VRAM (Oblivion sometimes takes up to 950MB of VRAM with the detailed textures I'm using). |

If I'm going have to pay extra for shipping to avoid brokerage, then any potential savings they could offer disappear. |
