If they're private sellers using Amazon they post their own prices

That's an Amazon seller "Outdoor Shopping Canada", not the Amazon company. Essentially this person is importing from the U.S. making you pay the import fees on-top of every item.

I looked at your link. It indicated would not ship to CA?

Yep...there is a big difference between items "fulfilled by Amazon" and third party sellers using Amazon's platform.

Having said that I do notice quite often the Amazon.ca is a lot more expensive for the same item as Amazon.com even after factoring in currency conversion. Unless it's an ITAR controlled item I usually buy from Amazon.com and get the free shipping to my US PO box.

edit...

OP, FWIW speedloaders are not controlled items. I've found most of mine on Ebay.

Oh I see that now. Good luck to him!

This is common on Amazon.ca.

I have seen phones posted for sale for more than you can buy them for outright at the carrier.

Some idiots must pay it though.

this must be like the $300.00+ Redding die sets etc. wondered about that

Free Shipping? How generous...Its the old usual $10US for the speedloader with the typical $30+ USPS charged by the seller hidden in the purchase price. Some folks make a pretty good living by gouging on the shipping costs, once at least.

I think those ones are price entry errors.

Amazon.ca has got me puzzled.

Some stuff arrives the next day as if shipped from the city you reside in. i.e. scope covers, saw blades etc.
Other stuff take 2 weeks, as it comes out of some place in Texas?? i.e. Frog Lube?
You pull up stuff that indicates can't ship to CA, yet it is Amazon.ca??? WTF?

I'm finding more and more sellers on ebay won't ship here.

Some won't but I've bought all my HKS speedloaders (a variety of Colt and S&W models) out of the US on Ebay and for a fair bit less than I could find them for here.

This used to happen on ebay too.

They would post crazy prizes and hook people who made mistakes.
