Ordering online to Canada...service that ships from the States? - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

I wanted to know if there is a service that ships to Canada. Tried to order 200 dollars of Its Always Sunny Merchandise for friends and I but the only place they ship is the US. Is there any swrvice that ships to you from the US or any way around it. And yes...tried amazon already.

I use the Montana Shipping Outlet. They are great and very easy to deal with.

So how do i go about it with them? Just set it up so they deliver to me beforehand? Just never used a service like this before.

I am going to have to try this Montana Shipping company. Thank you.

I came across this problem last week. Luckily I have a friend who lives in Utah that I was able to ship it to, and he will in turn ship it to me. I ordered the item on Amazon.com instead of Amazon.ca and it saved me 8-9 weeks.

YES! Awesome! I did not know this existed and I was trying to order some custom Budweiser bar signs for my basement... I was SO disappointed!

So happy to hear this is available.

Question,

Do you have them ship to you after it arrives there, or do you pick it up?

Does anyone know approximately how much Montana Shipping Outlet charges? comparable prices to other couriers?

Ducay · 12-10-2010, 11:58 AM

Generally they usually just charge you what the new shipping costs + a handling fee. (Vague answers ftw!)

Ducay · 12-10-2010, 04:09 PM

So I guess that business mentioned above (Montana Shipping) doesn't really do package forwarding. They're just a package receiving place, rather than a forwarding business.

Any other suggestions of places people have used?

I know someone who used Bongous that is linked above

the package arrived perfectly (it was clothes) but it was really expensive for shipping (from their facility to Vancouver) if I remember correctly. I think it was around 60 CAD

depending upon the item...the $60 might not be so expensive especially with free shipping on stuff in the states meaning that you only have to pay for it to come across the border. (plus duties and gst/hst as applicable).
