This should of been done years if not decades ago. I recall 30 years ago a friend who was a pharmacist had to take certification exams again when moving from one province to another. It was a ridiculous barrier then as it is now.

For a few years we collected points, simply a goal to see if we could reach 1 mil and then cash in for groceries at the local Real Atlantic Superstore. Reached the goal and then some, got to about 1.5 mill and then started using all the points for all grocery purchases in store. Once the points were depleted, the account would no longer tally points on purchases where points were offered. Tried the same methods of watching the sales, etc, and would buy the things on sale as needed. No points collected on purchase. Gave up trying, and now shop wherever is convenient. I was at the local store last week for a few things and the cashier said that now a person has to open the app and accept the offers, then buy the product during that sale period in order to collect the points. Yeah, no, not gonna do that anymore.

Besides, holding on to points while grocery prices continue upward only devalues the points at a future redemption date. Might as well cash them in as you go.

Technically speaking, there's no such thing as free shipping. It's built into the price, and for low dollar value items, the ship cost is spread out over other products in a merchant's business model. Whether its FBA (fulfilled by Amazon) or FBM (fulfilled by merchant), the merchant is the one paying the shipping, not Amazon. You can be sure though that Amazon is getting a smokin' hot deal from CanadaPost for that volume business. Just my guess, but CanPost is offsetting the lower profit margins for shipping Amazon's packages by charging more for smaller volume Canadian merchants who ship direct to the consumer.

Maybe the moderator could pin a new thread to make a list of Canadian companies that are leaving for the US.
