you can do e-certs for chapters.ca and amazon.ca as well.

agree that online shopping in Canada is years behind the UK!

Jacksmama · 18/06/2009 17:33

Errrrr... I live in Canada and I disagree .

Having said that, ggirl, can I help in some way?

brimfull · 18/06/2009 17:38

yes jacksmama-give me a list of shops that I can order stuff online from here to send to my parents in canada

I tried doing this last yr and it was a joke.
I'd love it to have improved.

hana-chapters was the one that were being so awkward about me having an address outside cnanda

You should be able to at Amazon.ca - if you have access to Paypal I believe you can pay using that instead of a credit card. I know it works from Germany which is where my father lives. If it doesn't, I can always order whatever it is for you, and you can pay me via bank-email or international money order.

Jacksmama · 18/06/2009 17:42

Never mind. I see you've got it sorted.

brimfull · 18/06/2009 17:46

how kind of you to offer jacksmama-thank you

jacksmama - Im Canadian and I disagree - there is far more choice in the UK (I live in London) - I do most of my shopping online and there just isn't the same breadth offered. Other things too like donating to various charities have only recently been put online or magazine subscriptions (I get 1 for my sisters) were late compared to the UK. Maybe it's a population thing, dunno. put please don't be angry

brimfull · 18/06/2009 19:25

it is utterly archaic with regards to online shopping

I have tried to think why and the only reason I can think of is the sheer vastness of the place and how this would curtail deliveries

shopping in canada is pretty dire though comapred to the UK
