Hello people.

It recently occurred to me that i need to upgrade my laptop.

If anyone is familiar with tigerdirect.ca and tigerdirect.com, the price difference for items is approx 20%.
New Egg (newegg.com), which seems to be slightly better, has competitve prices with tigerdirect.com

Our dollar is now worth more than theirs.

Does anyone know how to get any computer/tv items can be purchased and shipped to canada? rather than paying the 20% hike

I would like to point out that these places are reputable online retailers.

Please Help. Suggestions

Do they have a store in Buffalo? Just drive over and buy the stuff...

These are very popular online stores. I would drive to buffalo for them, but we would need a P.O. BOX down there. Remember online items come through the mail

you can set up a US address and post office box no problem. There are many services that you can work with, look up in google.

Thanks S.F.W.
I was wondering if anyone here has done this, and if so, what company they used to set up this process

I have friends near Buffalo. I just ship stuff to them. :D

TigerDirect has a brick and mortar store here though. Do you know if they have one there that you can go to?

I know doughboy has, and I'm likely to set one up shortly myself.
