Introduction |
Columbia House Music Canada has been replaced with a retail site with membership requirements at CHcanada.com in February 2009. There are no free selections upon
joining like the previous club and the new club will not accept applications from Quebec residents but they have reduced the price of many of their CDs to priced like that of a big box retailer. |
--
Standard Deal (Online Offer) |
One time fee of $5.99, waived on
introductionary offer via web site. All
items are taxed, GST and
where applicable, PST.
Some Maritime province
customers are subject to HST (instead of
the GST and PST). |
--
Membership Agreement |
Purchase
two CDs, DVDs, Video Games or Calenders
every year of membership. Many are priced as low as $5.99. |
--
Breakdown (without taxes) |
Hard to determine a per unit cost like I did with the previous Columbia House Music Club. It depends on what is purchased. But most Pre-Ordered DVDs
are $18.99 and most New Releases on DVD are $19.99. New Releases on CD start at $12.99.
|
--
Additional Discounts |
There appears to be quite a few specials on the web site, and as i've mentioned before a member can fulfill their membership
requirements with purchases for as low as $5.99 (plus s&h and tax). |
--
Shipping and handling |
(subject
to change) $1.99 per disc in orders of one to two discs, $5.99 flat rate
on orders contain three of more discs. Expedited shipping available from $12.95 on orders below $60 and $20.95 for orders over $300. |
--
Payments |
A valid, Canadian issued credit card is required to join the club and to order selections. They accept American Express, Mastercard, Visa. |
--
Returns |
Selections
that are faulty or have
been damaged durring
shipping may be returned
within 30 days with an
explaination. Shipments
resulting from errors can
also be returned withing
30 days with an
explaination only if the
CD is not opened.
CH reserves the right to
cancel anyone's
membership if they decide
the member has "an
excessive number of
returns". Unwanted
parcels should not be
opened. These can be sent
back to the company by
writing "Return to
Sender" on the
parcel, preferably
inbetween the return
address and your address,
in bold, clear text,
though it should be noted
that these incidents are
less likely to happen now
with the new CH, where members
are not required to send
reply cards in
unless they wish to place
an order. |
--
Cancelation of Membership
and Positive Response
Program |
CH
only accepts requests for
a cancelation after a
member has fulfilled the
membership agreement for within
12 months of joining.
A positive response program
is not being offered by the new
CH because they no longer perform
automated shipping/billing nor do they
issue reply cards. |
