| I know everyone on this site shops at eskincarestore but are their any other sites? It seems sometimes that I'm the only online shopper amongst my friends - either that or my friends are total liars and are too ashamed to openly admit their online addiction. Are they any other avid online shoppers? What other sites do you shop at? |

I tend to buy my books and music online. I find it much easier to have my book delivered to my door rather than going from store to store trying to find what I'm looking for.
So I use the Indigo site and occasionaly Amazon.
I'd probably shop at a lot of other sites (i.e. Sephora) if I didn't have to pay duties. I think it's silly that there are Sephora stores in Canada but if we try to order online we have to pay duties to have it shipped from the U.S.A so I prefer to go to the store to save a few dollars.

| I agree. The American online stores seem to offer amazing products at decent prices, but then you have to add the duties and taxes - it's quite a turn off. I haven't come across a canadian comparable to an american online clothing store that's worth purchasing from - their prices are usually the same as in-store prices or higher. |

| I tend to buy books online from Amazon as well. In the past I've bought things here and there from sites that had skincare items I wanted to try but was only available in Australia.. but I wasn't impressed enough to keep repurchasing. I would totally do more online shopping if there were a site where I could purchase for less without duties or less taxes. But, for pretty much comparable prices in store, I feel like I might as well get it b&m with no waiting time. I know one of my friends who buys online from Aldo, only when there's really good promos, and Ebay for handbags.. |

Try "Off The Rack" or "Beyond The Rack">>coupons too...I've looked at another site but as I'm using my Netbook and I'm not at home, (and it's on my home computer), I can't remember it. I'll check it out this Sunday & get back to you. You can get awesome clothing for unbelievable prices. I hate to shop in store, so I check it out Online. Who want to pay retail??!!! |

| Those sites ring a bell. I know I've never used it before, but I think I heard of them from somewhere and forgot about them 'til now! |

I love online shopping. I am just tired to line up and search the products in the crowds.
I have been buying products online from AMerican eagles, sporting life, La senza, gap, sephora, sasa, amazon, ebay sellers etc. Sometimes, I could even get promotion exclusively for online purchase. |

I've tried the soap from earth to body and found it extremely drying. I liked one of their creams, but it did smell medicinal... which I thought wore off eventually but it turned out to bother others in my household.

| I forgot all about TSC. I used to buy a ton of stuff from them but lately I've been able to find comparable products or identical products at much cheaper prices. |

Which soap did you use? I like their Emu Neem Soap. My favourite product is their Clay-Neem Treatment. Very potent mask.

Their showstopper prices are hard to beat (especially for Cellex-C products) and I love their return policy.
I recently found out that you can collect areoplan miles for shopping on the tsc.ca website. Extra incentive to shop there. ;) |

| depending on what you want. i just started shopping online. this site seems to be the only good one for ordering to canada when it comes to skincare. ebay i find is so expensive compared to how they used to be. i also find its hard to find sites where you can use paypal. just be careful, look for free shipping as that is where they can get you! |
