Two Questions:
I have a book that is currently on back-order - with an expected release date of July 2008 - where is it? It's September, and your website still has a pre-order for a book that was supposed to be released in July. Can you let me know if you plan on having this book available within the next few weeks as I have been waiting to order it, but don't want to pre-order and not have any idea of when it will arrive. For all I know it could show up next year.
[Simon & Schuster Handbook for Writers (with MyCompLab NEW with E-Book Student Access Code Card) (Hardcover)
# Hardcover: 960 pages
# Publisher: Prentice Hall; 8 edition (Jul 14 2008)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 0205656323
# ISBN-13: 978-0205656325] which btw, is $51.74 USD at amazon.com, which amounts to $53.85 CDN; $82.CDN -> $75.USD - what is the difference and why such a big difference in price?

Second Question: When will you be carrying Doctor Who Magazine? Another product that I've been asking for - and while its available 45 mins south of where I live and across border control, I'd rather not pollute the air for one magazine, if amazon.ca will finally get with the rest of the world in the availability of products that are offered in every other international location. Who makes these decisions? Who can I lobby in government to make these changes.

Thank you, I really enjoy shopping here, and refuse to shop anywhere else for all my book/media needs for myself, family and now my work place.

signed, me.

This is not the first time I've requested Doctor Who, the last time I received some lame excuse about trade or something. I am getting sick of all the bloody gouging by Canadian corporations using every excuse in the book to get away with imposing fees for everything. I just realised that I've been paying PST on a service - my understanding has always been that GST is applicable to goods and services (such as food). PST on products. I guess I was wrong - esp in all my bills that I've been putting in for reimbursement for work - I've never put in for the PST.
