Amazon has been listing products with the title, 'I'm sorry, I cannot fulfil this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy'::Products have appeared on the platform with odd titles that are seemingly related to OpenAI's usage policy.

They're still the only company that can get stuff shipped to rural Canada at a decent price. AliExpress often comes out more expensive once you pay for shipping, and you lose the return policy as well.

Buy from a Canadian company you say? Ha! Long before Amazon existed the prices were already inflated and shipping was insane. Amazon was a breath of fresh air just by bringing US prices to Canada.

Except for specific items like tools and PC components, Amazon still beats every shop in Canada.
