I hate Amazon as much as the next guy but IME international Amazon and US Amazon are completely different things and aren't really comparable, they just have a similar GUI. US Amazon has nearly any consumer product you'll buy (from most food up to really expensive stuff like small boats and sheds) and almost all of it shows up in 1-2 days with minimal shipping cost.

I know people in Canada and it's nothing like that. What you can find is crazy expensive and it it takes weeks to ship.



I'm an American, but I did my graduate degree in Canada, and the difference was so extreme I (and others) would just get stuff shipped to the border and go pick it up.
