chcanada.com

My earlier post about the Future Shop True Romance deal made me think about CHCanada.com and how it seems to me that it’s not something a lot of people know about. So:

For anyone not aware, CHCanada.com is an offshoot of the Canada-based Columbia House Movie Club. The difference is its basically an online store instead of a club. There are a few insignificant “obligations” (read the fine print), but the savings that can be had are worthwhile if you are patient. Shipping is $1.99 per item, up to a max of $5.99 for 3 or more items.

A nice selection of Blus can be had for $13.99, whose availability rotates weekly. Updates to the site, including new releases and the latest selection of $13.99 titles, usually occurs every Monday — sometimes Tuesday morning. Biggest drawback right now is selection, especially lacking in FOX and Disney Blu-ray, but new titles are added weekly.

Link to the Blu-ray section is here: http://www.chcanada.com/category/4

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT another web site for the Columbia House Canada members who receive the “Selection of the Month” — your regular Columbia House Club login WON’T WORK THERE! This is a “pick-it-off-the-electronic-shelf-and-buy-it” site with its OWN userID and login.

The above quote is from a thread at Blu-ray.com. Figured I might as well quote it since it pretty much tells you what you need to know, with one small addition:

They can sometime be a tad slow on the shipping speed, and their communication leaves a little to be desired. When I ordered from them I didn’t received an order confirmation or a shipping notice. The order was listed in my account on their site, but no e-mails were sent from them. Other report getting these e-mails, so maybe it’s just something in their system they need to iron out.
