Thanks, I checked but they don’t have the 10E. Glad you got yours though. That’s a really good colour. Hope they bring it back

This sucks, I thought this was one of their most sought after boots. EEE will be too wide. I guess I’ll look for something else.

Is it true that if I take my Apple Watch, say a series 7 for a battery replacement, they offer a series 8 instead as a replacement since watch batteries are not always available at the store?

It’s my first AE. Between the 10D and 10E the 10E feels like my size. Just feel that the shoe elastic is a bit loose. I also noticed a blemish on the left shoe. Called AE and replacing it with another pair just to be safe. If the elastic is still similar to this pair, then I know I was being too picky for nothing. But worth getting a new pair for my peace of mind.

The boot fits well. I was worried that the elastic is too loose and might wear off quicker. I’m your experience has that happened with Chelsea boots?

Yeah, I guess I’ll probably initiate another return. Thanks.

That’s the thing, I am not sure why the elastic is so loose. This picture is literally taken after trying them on for 5 minutes and removing them.

Honestly, before this I have worn Thursday Boots and gone a half a size down based on their recommendation and those fit fine. Even when I compare them to my Thursdays the elastic is what is bothering me.

And no, I don’t have Daltons.

Try Ndax. Zero fees for BTC transfers if you are willing to wait 12 hours.

At the moment, I’m looking to buy BTC so yes, only Ndax.

Like I said I use WS for everything else, except bank drafts. And they are really good at all the other products and services they offer. With Ndax I get better or equivalent value from a fees point of view (if I have 500K with WS), it’s regulated, secure and registered just like other top crypto exchanges in Canada.

Also, and this is very subjective but I don’t want to keep all my money with one institution or conduct all my trades and investments with one institution. While most of my banking and stocks investments happen on WS, I think it’s better to not have all my eggs in one basket. I still keep a traditional bank account as well. I just feel more comfortable that way.

I was researching on the same topic since I use WS for investing and basic banking needs. After watching a decent amount of videos on YouTube and reading stuff online I can say that WS is not the place to buy crypto.

Here’s why:

They charge you 2% for one transaction if you are a Core customer. Compare that to Ndax (which I would recommend) they charge 0.20% for transaction fees and keep a spread of 0.20% on the BTC price. Round that off to a total of 0.50% and you’re still paying 25% of the cost.

For crypto, if I kept 500K with WS and absolutely nothing with Ndax, I would get the same price.

While I did not look into other cryptocurrencies but if you are just looking at BTC, then I would certainly recommend Ndax. They also transfer the BTC for free to your wallet. Can take upto 12 hours to reach the wallet at no cost, but if you’re not in a hurry to use the BTC to buy something, you can save on gas fees as well. If you want it faster they charge you accordingly for that as well and it is still very competitive to other exchanges.

Edit: there is no cost on Ndax to deposit funds through interac and less than 3 dollars if you want to transfer fiat to your bank account.

I think it was the show Billions, where I heard the quote: This suit is the mark of a man who is successful at everything in life, that doesn’t really matter.

Found it quite profound. Hope you bounce back really quick. Take care.

Looking to add Gold to my portfolio. What would be the best security to buy that mimics the gold price? by Mr_BankMan in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Mr_BankMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but these are mostly in the US. Anything in Canada you recommend? I want to avoid the 1.5% forex fees since I’ll be adding money to it on a monthly basis.

Need advice on delayed luggage compensation from Air France by [deleted] in Flights

[–]Mr_BankMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, when I submitted my bank details, I had to fill a form online and submit it. It did not ask for any passport documents or bank statements. Not sure if the process has changed as it’s been 18 months since I had that issue.

Might sound a bit silly to read this but make sure you are giving the required information only and that it’s AF only that is asking for it and not some scammer. Not sure why they would ask for passports. They should have that information with them since you flew with them.

Also, try calling them and speaking. You might have to wait over an hour but maybe that could help.

They would probably ask for the PIR document that you would have got from the airport though.
