I've pretty much given up on any kind of shopping aggregator. I go to the brand/manufacturer website directly and buy online there if possible. I feel that's the best way to get what I am intending to buy, even if it's not the lowest possible price.

A lot of the time that's gonna be more expensive in Canada, if not only cause a lot of manufacturers only have warehouses in the US. You'll likely pay more for shipping (which could be significant, like $15 shipping on a $20 item), potentially get a letter a few weeks later from the courier saying you owe them money for import fees, and will likely wait longer than if you just got it through the free Prime subscription you're already paying for.

Before you totally give up, perhaps try one more? We built a search engine / shopping aggregator to help shoppers find items to purchase directly from independent shops and brands. We currently help shoppers find items from 140,000 Shopify shops, making 100 million items searchable for the shopper. By Shopify building out their fulfillment network, this will help close the gap between the product offering from Shopify shops and Amazon. In the end, the shopper will get a better shopping experience by shopping directly from the independent shop, because they can control the customer service experience, and not a third party that sits between the shopper and the seller. We're extremely bullish on independent online shops, and we want to help them get as much traffic as possible. There are a number of reasons for this, but it all comes down to, we want to help shoppers support their local communities first, and if that isn't possible, then help them choose where their money goes. We'd love your feedback. Check us out at https://vendazzo.com/ https://vendazzo.com/ daniel
