tiger direct canada is expensive

yeah, they do have a bit more expensive stuff ie. core 2 duo e6300 =232 @ TD while its $192 @ ncix. But I think it's because TD is a public company (hence the .ca ending) while other stores (ncix, directcanada etc..) are either private or american owned. But, I can go use TD to get a 10% cheaper item at bestbuy because TD has a .ca ending.

The Canadian dollar is over 5% stronger, and still most items on the Tiger Canada site are 20% and MORE over the American prices. - In addition, you can't even buy from the american site if you are Canadian, any other country is fine... only Canadians are being shown prejudice. I realize this is because they have to make their .ca company happy, but seriously, if the .ca company is getting greedy -they should be able to be bypassed.

I do like some of their pricing - yeah, most of their computer stuff is outdated for the price - (yes, that would have been a good price a year ago thanx) but for other stuff... cameras etc its pretty decent. Who wants to pay an extra 20-40% over the price you can see on the .com site!?!

Any suggestions for a better company?

Hey, I just bought a system through Canadadirect.com - cost $580. Same stuff on Tiger was $756, NCIX $640(about). Actually the cheapest I found was Newegg.com - but they only ship to the states, and the price was about 5%less than Canadadirect.com - so... thats my two cents!

Direct Canada have some pretty good prices on select "hot" items, but they don't offer nearly as many options than NCIX. They do offer free shipping, though
