I am so sick and tired of not being about to get things shipped to Canada from the American stores they come from. You would think that the global reach of 'Amazon' would mean that there would be no problem. You would be wrong.
I was all excited about a 'Mego Captain Cold' figure to battle my Mego Flash but they wouldn't ship it past the border. Then I wanted to order 4 superhero drink glasses for my collection and these too seem to be tools of the terrorists. I know parcel post guys work on both side of the border. Is it really such a chore for one guy to pass a package to another guy at the border? I am not smuggling in drugs or people here.

Try China. One year my daughter ordered cool stuff for her teens from China. It all came and was fine.
Are you serious? That's ludicrous.
Sorry, Kal.

That is frustrating. Sounds like a bribe is in order.
Custom's Tariffs getting in the way, perhaps?

Browse through it just a 'lil bit and you'll want to scream. Probably not so hard just to pass the package from one shipper to the next at the border. That's the easy part. It's the added expense of paying and navigating the nightmares of reguations and codes that governments develop to ensure they get their cut at the border that often makes it an unattractive option to sellers/shippers.
Is this your figure?

Di 'Scott Pilgrim' lie to me? I thought you could order stuff off Amazon.ca and it'd be delivered by a hot purple haired hipster chick on roller blades?
If this is not true tell me now, because I'll need to cancel my application for Canadian citizenship!
Amazon.ca doesn't sell toys. That's what the issue is.
'Scott Pilgrim' did lie to me. I am very disappoited in both hims and Amazon. WE ARE A REAL FUCKING COUNTRY - damn hillbilly crackers.
Thanks for that link MC. I can get that guy but I wanted to one from Amazon also because it was a MEGO Captain Cold. I loves me some Captain Cold.
Captain Cold - or as they call him in Canada: Captain Balmy.
Cal, if you need to, send it to me and I will ship it personally t you. Hit me on the email if yo ever need a go-between here in the states... you know I got you kid!!!!
Thanks for your offer Mike, I just may take you up on that. I just hate to impose.
Bubbashelby - that made me spit my water all over my keyboard. Captain Balmy. Too Funny.
Same offer as Mike, I ship to Canada almost everyday so it is no problem at all to be the go-between for stuff.
Ah yes, the spit take - the true Oscar of comedy!
Thank you Kal!
