"Sorry, we don't ship to Canada at this point."

Getting tired of reading that sentence? Well, welcome to a site that is out to change that. We are building it for anyone who has ever found a great deal on an espresso machine from Amazon.com only to find they don't ship to our side of the border (no offence Amazon.ca but your selection is lacking). Or, won an auction on eBay for an iPOD only to realize too late that the shipping almost doubles the price. If you can relate, or simply want to start taking advantage of online deals then we're glad you found us.

This is a community. We are trying to build the ultimate resource comprised of online stores that Canadians can actually shop at. This is about taking advantage of our strong dollar and buying power.

So if you've found a site that is "Canada Friendly", then let us know. By being a part of our community you are sending a strong message to all online retailers that Canadians like deals too!

iPad hits the US market. Millions of Canadians seen salivating at the border.

Why "late April"?

Oh, I see how it is. Sure Apple, we’re just a nation of 33 million and only your next door neighbour to the north. But I will let you know is that we’re just as passionate about Apples here.

I remember the launch of the iPhone and it still pains me. I also remember the time (close to a year) waiting for it to be launched in Canada. At least you seemed to learn your lesson, a little bit. Why “late” April? It’s almost less insulting to make us wait a year. Why do the states get this preferential treatment? Can’t your delivery drivers just drive an extra few MILES to the north and drop off a case?  We want the power of tablet computing as well!

In the end though, am I one to hold a grudge? Of course not, I will still be there waiting to pick up my iPad the moment the doors at the local Future Shop open. Yah, I’m a part of the Apple cult and proud of it.

Open Letter to Amazon.com from Canada

Dear Amazon.com, Okay, we get it. You have everything and it’s usually for a better price than I can find anywhere else. But why the teasing? Do you not understand how the internet works and where Canada is? I take it back, you obviously do because I’ve been to Amazon.ca. It’s okay I guess, but [...]

New Online Clothing Store

As my faithful readers know I am a fan who likes to consume. Perhaps ironically, I also like to save. Normally if I see something I like in a store I take mental note until I’m sure it’s the best deal around. This happened recently when I was out shopping for some new spring shorts. [...]

Canadian Dollar Keeps Climbing!

Remember WAY back in July 2008 when the Canadian dollar was bubbling right around par with the American dollar? Well, if not then prepare to relive that glorious time as the Canadian dollar continues to rise. Actually since the beginning of the year it has seen a rise of 3.3%! So what’s the cause of [...]

About Canadian Dollar shopping
My name is Donald Farber and I started CanadianDollarShopping.com because I was getting a little fed up with wasting so much time trying to find companies that would ship to Canada. The thing about me is that I like to own things, I don't like paying a lot for them, and I don't like shopping. You would think the internet would be perfect for people like me, but unfortunately I don't live in the States.
