I would like to buy something from a Canadian online store, it's oversized, but I don't know of any reshipping company who could forward the freight, nor any good friends or relatives there ...

Any ideas? Thanks.

(They will ship to anywhere in Canada except Quebec, and nowhere else)

No promises but I have a friend who might be able to help but I can't say for sure until I ask. He travels to North America regularly and buys up cars and caravans that he ships back in a container. Maybe he could make a little extra space. He says he is going to Canada this time, probably the middle and west. Leaving in August I think, will stay about three months, container shipping also takes awhile so no good if you are in a hurry. Can you describe exactly what the item is, with shape and dimensions?

Skis. CAD 300 vs NZD 1200. However I can't get the correct "flex" in NZ! [It's about US 300 if bought from USA, which I can use youshop]

I think August is a bit late for the ski season :)

But thanks

Maybe you should consider a ski trip to Canada. Not all that expensive these days and they must have some pretty good slopes. You can bring the skis back as carry on.

Mainfreight NZ has branches in Vancouver & Totonto.
Maybe send them as email?
