Shipping Advice

[Shrugged]

Hey out there!
Hopefully someone can help me.
There is a coffee table that I've been searching high and low for some time and I've finally found it... however the website will not ship to Canada.

I have no friends/relatives in the U.S. to assist me and I cant have the item shipped to one of their stores for pick up.

So I'm stuck...

Does anyone know a way to get around this shipping problem!?

Have FedEx pick it up. You will need an account or have to pay up front for this.

Yes, I have a solution, but you'll have to go to the US to pick it up...

I bought some stuff for my Truck via the Web, (Parts are 1/2 price in USA for some reason) and they would not ship to Canada... same as your problem. I simply had them ship it via FedEx to one of their Kinko's Depot's with "HOLD FOR PICK-UP" Instructions. Just pick a location closest to you on the states side on the border and go on a road trip...

The Kicker: When I went to pick them up, the lady at the counter asked me why I had them shipped as hold for pick up... I explained the situation and she said, well this is going to really get you... guess what the carton said: "MADE IN CANADA"!

Freaking brilliant! Now that is funny!

Isn't there a lady just on the other side of the border who accepts shipments for Canadian residents for a small fee? Darn if I can remember her name. This is a homemade business for her.

Actually that was not a joke- true story...

I was buying parts for my Ridgeline (which is built in Alliston), I wanted to pimp it up with some nerf bars, rear mudflaps, bug deflector etc and a couple other things... Would have cost me well over $1200 through a dealer here, but $640 total from a US dealer in Rhode Island... Since the $ was trading in + at the time the charge to my cc was almost exactly half. The dealer called me and said they couldn't ship to Canada due to a restriction from Honda Corporate, so that's wehn I came up with the hold for pick-up deal to Kinko's... all I had to do was pick it up. I actually installed the parts myself while I was there and didn't claim anything on my way back to Canada... I love it when a plan comes together!

I can not legally bring back California fruit back to the USA that I buy while in Canada

You can't buy California fruit and drive it back into California either, they have a border crossing on the roads basically to interrogate about this, least they used to.

Ummm not sure when this occurred but RevCan does take note of who purchased things and where. I have to assume you ordered and paid for it here, and picked it up there?

If it was made in Canada, exported to the US, then you imported them back into Canada, RevCan might want to collect the taxes owed on the items and if you didn't declare it upon returning to Canada, there might be penalties involved (and believe me, they don't like you not declaring anything even if there are no taxes or duties involved).

Just a little research on this transaction and they'd see you ordered it, paid for it, delivered it to a US address, yet "never" took delivery of it until you went across the border. Then upon your return they will have you down as "nothing to declare"......
