.ca dn registration - any recommendations for inexpensive registration?

[Peter Armstrong]

Hugh  -  Thx for the update, I will go back and try again at netfirms.

I didn't actually place the order, cause once I saw the s&h charge, I
thought, this is no good.  I couldn't see anywhere where I could
eliminate the s&h charge, but I'll look again.  I can also use the
live chat  as you did.

Will let you know how I make out.

-Peter

| Actually, if you try to purchase a .ca from
| Netfirms,

| the final price is $18.09, not $9.95 as advertised!!
|
| Double what they advertise(!).
|
| They add on $6.95 for "Shipping & Handling Surface
| Mail (CAN)"(?!), and of course gst of  $1.19, for a

| total $18.09

This is ourtrageos.  So I thought I'd check.

I just asked their live chat support about this.  They seem to think
the S&H is for some CD that sounds useless.

Did you get a CD?


BTW, the prices are in Canadian dollars.

    Chat Information Welcome to the Netfirms Live Sales Chat! A Sales
    Representative will assist you shortly.
    Chat Information You are now chatting with 'Ryan'

Ryan: Hello, thank you for contacting us. How may I help you today?
Hugh: Your web page says that a domain is $9.95 / year. I've heard
    that you actually charge a large "shipping and handling" fee on top

of
    that, but I do not see that mentioned on your page. Can you point
me
    to this policy?
Ryan: The domain name is $9.95= $10.65 with taxes. We do not charge a
    shipping and handling fee unless you order the Net Objects Starter

CD
    which is NOT mandatory.
Hugh: OK. All I want is to renew my domain. I don't need a DNS host
    and I don't need a web host. So it would be $10.65 / year? That's
    good.
Ryan: I will be right with you.

Ryan: Yes but did your domain already expire?
Hugh: no. A month or two away.
Ryan: You can transfer your domain using the registrar transfer option
    for the aforementioned price
