I'm going to North America soon (Vancouver), so are there any electrical items that I should try and pick up because they're cheaper. Particularly with this new computer in mind etc.
What compatibility problems would I have too. I can't imagine there would be any for computer parts, because they're universal. But other stuff maybe...
Ideas?

Websites don't really tell you anything.
There are probably way more shops then what you think.
+ Visit Wal Mart (do they have Wal Marts in Canada?), the supercentres stock everything

I'm not the funking one that arranged the trip though, so I don't know if I'm staying at one hotel for more than a week. I wouldn't even trust the postal service for anything shorter than 1 week.
Also, I'd have to ask the hoteliers to use their address.
ARgh. I just got in a huge argument as well. This is turning out to be a very depressing night.

I'd order over the internet and have it delivered to my hotel in America/Canada well only if it's free shipping.
Currently I'm getting very, very, VERY wound up.
Firstly, I find there are about 2 reliable computer parts shops in the whole of Vancouver.
Secondly, the bloody prices equate to the same amount of money over here.
Thirdly, there are hardly any places in the whole of canada that supply digital cameras.
Fourthly, the prices are all the same over here.
Fifthly, my bloody internet's cripplingly slow 56k which seems to be strugling.
*slits*

Just a word of caution...
I can tell you from experience, you can make savings, however when you weigh it on up against the hassle of an item that doesn't work then in my opinion the saving isn't always worth it.
Apart from the shipping expenses of returning faulty items another thing that can catch you out is the guarantees/warranties you get with some things. I mean things like items not being supplied as operating outside of north america, so if you take it abroad you have no guarantee if it breaks and not even the manufacturer will touch it then (They do it to maintain some kind of regional price protection).
That isn't true with all items, but it is with some so whatever you want to buy, make sure you do some research first.

Canadain dollar is different from US dollar.
Everything is cheaper there, about 60 cents to a quid depending on fluctuations. When you are there try Mountain Dew, 'tis really nice. And check out that waterpark in Vancouver, it's sweet.
