That doesn't come as a big shock to me somehow. I sent a boxed set of DVDs from Edmonton to my daughter in Montreal for her birthday and they charged me $23.

Have you looked on amazon.ca for a used copy? They sometimes have that sort of thing and their prices are good. Shipping is much cheaper through them than it is for individuals.

YOu can get Mosby from Amazon.ca - they charge normal postage rates & even their expedited rate is only some $23 odd!

I had that same problem with the CNA - I emailed them to alert them but haven't had a reply. You can get the book sent from other Canadian booksellers will mail it via the 6-8 weeks land mail for around $18 - I've lost the link I had but will post it when I find it.

I decided to use Mosby here & wait until I'm in Canada (as I don't have to do CRNE first as I'm going to work as an grad nurse initially) to purchase the CNA book!

Thanks so much I have just looked at the link and the total for the book and the postage is less than 90 dollars!! thus saving 150 dollars on the CRNA price. I too e-mailed them and did not get a response they are probably all holidaying on the extra postage money!

I was given the link by a nurse friend in Canada, it's a reputable store & I'm sure it will be okay. Also if you're paying by Visa or other credit card you're protected by your card anyhow. I didn't order it because I already got Mosby after seeing the stupid shipping price from the CNA.

I don't like the Mosby book much though & will get this one from this site once I'm through with Mosby.

I've bought loads of stuff internationally & so far, touch wood, have never had a problem. As long as it's a well known store in the country I'm happy to take my chance.
