there were a bunch of people on RFD iirc that were price matching these things when they were 199 on Amazon, in store. It's usually as long as the cheaper retailer has it in stock and it's not listed as a sale price then you are good.

EDIT: I guess they might get you on "authorized Canadian dealer".
I guess I stand corrected. This policy has changed since I was in that industry, it was standard practice to only match local competitors with a brick and mortar operation at that time. That's good news though. As mentioned above in this instance they still might argue that amazon (or this seller on Amazon) isn't an authorized Canadian dealer but it's worth a shot
if it was Amazon.com i'd say yea, not an authorized Canadian dealer, but since it's Amazon.ca I'd say it's fair game. Technically, it's being fulfilled by a dealer in quebec, but it's still in Canada.
You're emphasizing on the Canadian when authorized is the operative.
I'm not saying this is the case or that they won't match it.. no idea. But that clause is there to protect them in case buddy selling them on Amazon.CA is getting them in a dark alley and not from go-pro thus significantly increasing his margins..

Earlier in the thread there was speculation whether the GoPro Hero 1 would show up in the box rather than the Hero 2 because the price was so low.
When did they say they shipped yours? who did you contact to get this response?
ah yes. Like I said tho, i'm not too worried, if it is the Hero 1 I'll be returning for a full refund for sure. Amazon's pretty good about that kind of stuff.
^ what he said. Did they send you this email after you contacted them?
Yea, someone on RFD linked to Amazon's policy and were definitely covered. I don't see why anyone would hesitate to buy from Amazon. The only thing that will happen is it will waste our time.
Also it looks like someone gave them 1/5 stars for this delay
. I dont get why everyone is complaining about not getting a tracking number or the delay. Maybe 'Buy 'N Save' chose the cheapest possible method, like how USPS has first class international. If waiting 2 weeks means I save $100 then I'm happy; why are people so impatient?Buy 'N Save feedback page:

it's not so much that I'm impatient, hell, I order crap from china on eBay all the time and wait 3-4 weeks. it's more that they are charging $25 to ship, when it really shouldn't cost that much for the slowboat from Quebec (or wherever these are warehoused). To me, $25 should be expedited, if not priority shipping.

That email was posted to RFD by a couple people who had contacted Buy N Save multiple times to get tracking info. There are some people on RFD who ordered theirs as early as July 5th who still have not received. I did not purchase one
got the same email today.
I didnt think you bought one but I just wanted to know if I had to email them to save $25
.. and like kamikaze I got the email today..thx for keeping us updated espro, even though you didnt get one yourself.
nothing so far. talked to Amazon customer support last night, at least we have 60 days from the date of purchase to file a claim with them.
I was going to contact amazon as well.. did they say anything about the seller?
Sent the seller an email over the weekend asking about the refund/re-shipping, no reply yet.
