If I lived in a small town or in a city that did not have access to all the options, I would definitley buy online.
I do find it very difficult to find Canadian items (carseats, strollers, cribs) on a Canadian website... and even more difficult to find an online Canadian retailer that can beat the price of the same item in a store.

I want/must have the blue cover and am willing to pay the extra 30.00 but not add on another 30.00 for shipping. Which is what TJ's said it was.
I live in a small town and yes I could have headed to Ottawa or Montreal and picked up my DD's Marathon and not had to pay shipping from YYZ.
But it was easier this way, no need to drag both kids in the car and listen to them scream or get MIL to babysit DS..waste time finding parking, freeze walking to store etc. We bought it in the winter.
Also bonus DH does not need to really know how much it costs..I put it on the CC and pay it..in the store he would notice.
Instead a courier delivered it while a winter storm raged. It was 338.00 shipped from the Safety Superstore.
The Safety Superstore has free shipping for over $100 pre-tax. The price of the Coastal Radian is $229. You don't pay PST either as residence of Ontario or out of province purchase. http://www.babyproofingplus.com/item6838.htm?catid=28&catname=Car Seats

...if you look at the fine print at the bottom it will tell you this. I want true free shipping.
I knew about the tax exempt part and it technically doesn't look like it was charged but a little note at the bottom of the receipt says PST included in the price 23.78.
Whatever this means.Tj's and http://www.macklems.com/ quoted me around 30.00 so its still better but...
That is who is who I bought our Marathon from in November and the free shipping was on at the time BUT I had to pay 22.00 as its an oversize item
I want true free shipping.

Hmmm, that's no good then. Did you manage to talk to the store? Another one that ships carseat out is Li'l Niblets in TO. They were the only one in Canada that carried the Britax carseats yrs ago and use to ship carseat everywhere in Canada. Might be worth a call. It's website is only for info and not for pricing or buying on-line. www.lilniblets.com

She said only Grey and Champagne right now but the Blue would be in stock next week or the week after.
She took my name and number and will call me back so I can reserv once tey arrive. Yeah Yeah Yeah.
Honestly I feel like calling back and giving our CC right now to reserve.
Doing a little jig.
So Blue Radian and no shipping. My DS will be so so happy. He is sad that his sister gets a fun car seat and his is boring.

Lil'niblets got back to me and they carry only the Radian Premier in both colors at 269.00 plus taxes. Shipping to me would have been 27.00.
