Default I Need An Ameri-Friend

Well, I don't have an Ameri-Friend so here's my problem.

I would like to buy something from Ebay and the seller only ships to the US. Is there any company in the US that provides receiving services and then re-ship the package to Canada (for a fee, of course)?

I use Montanna Shipping Outlet (in Eureka), but you need to drive down to pick it up.

i use betta's services a lot.... but they are in oroville, washington

they receive the shipment for $3/box and hold it for a couple weeks - it's awesome!!!

truck parts are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper in the states.... and if you can prove they are manufactured in the states then it's duty free too..... you just have to pay the sales tax

Thanks guys. Found this review on reship.com GAL international Shippers, looks like quite a few companies re-ship from US to Canada.

That's Displaced Flames Fan -- he has helped me out on a few occasions

In addition to Eureka, Montana Shipping Outlet also has a post in Sweet Grass, MT (at the Coutts/Sweet Grass border crossing). Again, you have to pick the package up (so no good unless you're already planning a trip down), but they may also ship as well (per their website).

I can second the props to DFF. He has done a great job helping me out with restricted shipping.

If you haven't already, it's worth asking if they can make a one time exception. I did that before and the seller had no problem shipping to Canada for me.

They said their whole reason for not shipping to Canada was that the shipping times were unreliable and it wasn't worth the negative feedback. As long as I promised not to blame them if it took too long, they were fine shipping to me.

Bumping the thread here... Looking for some help receiving an item that won't ship to Canada.

I found a heck of a deal on an avalanche airbag, but the item won't ship to Canada. Is anyone on this forum who lives in the states willing to accept the shipment and redirect to Canada for me? Pretty please!?

Please, pm if your able to help out.

Wrong approach. You're a Canadian prove with a large fortune. Unfortunately, you cannot get access to your money right now.....

I could be wrong, but I swear there are companies now that provide a US address and then will ship it on to you for a fee.
