What's so surprising about that?

Amazon.ca barely has 0.1% of what's available on Amazon.com, and most items are 50% to 100% more expensive there. Shipping is rarely free.

I don't think you realize how convenient being able to shop on Amazon.com is. If anything, that would be in my top 3 reasons to move.

This is surprising for me because access to a specific online business is not typically on a list of requirements to relocate, for me anyway.

Is there an online business, equivalent to Amazon, that is killing it in Canada?

I would be surprised as well, but then i moved to the middle east. Want to buy a closet rod...fly to Dubai to get it, or pay $30 to have a $4 item shipped internationally. Want to buy a particular brand of children's clothing, pay a 150% premium.

You dont realize how good you have it until you lose it!

There's no equivalent here.

I still use Amazon.com, but it costs around $50 of shipping for each item.
