In the market for a new set of speakers, television, or even home appliances? The prices and selection at Vanns.com are hard to beat. Vann’s is a US retailer that sells tons of great stuff like electronics and home theatre equipment and has the customer service and expertise to back it up. The problem? They don’t ship to Canada and then don’t (directly) accept Canadian credit cards. Fear not, it’s totally possible to order from them and cash in on their awesome prices by using Kinek. Read on to find out how.
How Canadians can order from Vann’s
The process is actually pretty straightforward. While Vann’s doesn’t directly accept Canadian credit cards, they do allow you to pay with an Amazon account and since Amazon lets you use a Canadian credit card, you are good to go. The next problem, Vann’s doesn’t ship to Canada. No problem at all if you live somewhat near the US/Canadian border.
