i always seem to find some good deals over the internet but since the majority are in the US they are difficult to access. i.e. either don't ship to Canada or more complicated with customs/duties and you really don't know what your end cost will be.

i was wondering if there is any service that would take delivery of your item in the US (eg. Buffalo, since I live in Oakville) and then you go pick it up over the boarder. i would definitely do this is if it wasn't too costly.

anyone???

If you want to go to buffalo and pick up, almost any & all companies will do this. I do this through "The UPS Store" and they charge $15 "handling fee" i suppose...
