Default Ideas to get around "We don't ship to Canada"

This is so not man-approved, but I don't care, I want it. I want to buy nail polish from a website in the states, but they won't ship up here to Canada. I don't know anyone who lives down in the states who'd be willing to ship it to me. So I'm hoping that with all of the people here at CP, someone will come up with a creative idea of how to get around it.

I'm going to save that as a last resort, I really don't want someone that I don't know have to go through that sort of hassle for me.

www.internationalcheckout.com will do in a pinch. I used them to get some boots from England once, and they were reliable, timely, etc.

That's really interesting. I've never heard of a business that would do that. Anyone used them? Opinions?

They look like you can use them as your USA address but you have to pick it up

Yeah, that's what it looks like from what I can see on their site. Though it looks like they may offer shipping.

Can it be bought in store in the US? I will be in Las Vegas next week and would be willing to pick it up for you at a very large premium price increase. Plus you would have to come to Vancouver to pick it up from me.
deal?

Thanks WP, you're so thoughtful, I'll keep you in mind.

A buddy used to get stuff shipped to Mail Boxes etc in Montana. They would then either hold the item for him, or ship it up to Canada.

I've heard the following two offer forwarding services to Canada, but I can't vouch for them at all:
www.shipitapo.com or www.myus.com

That first ones looks like it's just for APO/FPO/DPO address. I don't even know what that is. That second one looks interesting, will do more research. Thanks.
