Amazon.ca is the Canadian arm of Amazon.com. The .ca site doesn't have all the bells 'n whistles the .com has, but it's still ahead of other book etailers in terms of features. Prices are competitive.

Canadian Amazon.com shoppers are limited to books, CDs, and DVD/video.

Prices are competitive, customer service is exemplary, and shipments to Canada are timely. They've been around a long while, and have their routine down-packed as a result.

They've got the biggest customer base so products are more likely to have customer reviews at Amazon than anywhere else which helps immensely for purchasing decisions - no matter where you end up purchasing the item.

Did Juju mention the customer service? Best customer service on the net -- all the other etailers should take lessons.

Powells has got a great selection of used books. Much more extensive than Amazon/BN, and you are charged the regular shipping rates - no "special order" surcharges. Just search for a book as usual, and the used books appear in the results.

Prices for new books are high so if you're looking for a newer book, you'd be better off at another etailer.

Plus you pay GST at checkout, so no customs fee surprises at your door!
