Or is it there and here?
Amazon.ca
I noticed that we have been ordering a lot of stuff on Amazon lately. It was a bit of a worry at first until we realized that we would buy the same stuff if we were in town. We like to support local businesses but we are out of town a bit so getting it delivered is great and saves a lot of driving time and gas.
We have had a few instances where something comes by Canada Post but as we have no mailboxes here we may be lucky to get it. One item they sent to us last year was sent back so I re-ordered. It arrived okay but so did another one this year. If we do have to get it by Canada Post, I get it delivered to our mailbox in Nanaimo. So, from now on I only try to order if it’s prime delivery. That way I know it’s coming by courier and we’ll get it sooner.
I love shopping online. Not just Amazon but any other company that wants to sell me stuff. I ordered our heat pump online and had to pick it up in Nanaimo. It was very satisfying when I showed up and it was sitting outside on a palette. That was some order.
We try not to return too much stuff but once in a while we have to. Amazon has made it much easier now. Once you make the request online they have a courier pick it up the next day. You don’t even have to re-label the package. Awesome!

Amazon.com.mx is also a good way for us to get our stuff down here. We can’t always find what we want locally so buy online. I needed a new keyboard so ordered one. They have fairly fast delivery even though our prime account doesn’t work here. My keyboard arrived in about a week. We got a bit of a hassle from the delivery guy because we didn’t have a number on our casa, but I soon took care of that.
One item I ordered was delivered while we weren’t home. It seems that if you aren’t home they don’t leave it but mark it as delivered anyway. I contacted Amazon and they said to give it a day or two. Sure enough, it turned up so we ordered a lot more stuff. I keep track of the delivery dates now so we can stay home that day.
