What are you looking for specifically?

I may be going to the Ogdensburg, NY UPS Store in the next few weeks (not sure when exactly), but it would be an option for you to have it shipped there.

That said, it's odd that a company wouldn't send something over the border via USPS, FedEx, UPS or another courrier.

Perhaps we could help finding another supplier who would.

Terry,
You should have my mailing address as I just bought something from you. I will be glad to help you out if you need it.

thanks for all the offers guys and gals i did get an offer in the first 5 minutes to help if i can return the great offers in the future please ask .ben the great lady i talked to in the US gave me the name part # and telephone # for the canadian supplier for a capacitor i called the guy in the big smoke today and he says they don't take visa but i could stop in pay for the part and they will order it and i can return to pic it up.think they call that customer lol

Saw this a little late Munch. Sorry I could'nt have helped you out.

Was it a Flux Capacitor

Or just a regular one?

Seriously though, a business that doesn't take Visa is a little odd. I would think that there is more than one dealer or distributor in all of Canada from who you could have ordered it from, but glad to see you got it worked out.

Off topic a bit from this but rifle & crossbow Scopes are on the no ship to canada list from the US now as well. Too bad Cabela's will lose a bunch of Canadian dollars but I am sure it's not their idea but rather uncle Sam's...

That is not completely true.
That statement is a generalization on their website and for the most part only covers certain items that have a distribution restriction from the manufacturer.
To know whether the item you want to import is available you must call Cabelas and talk to a sales rep.

I was told this via email.

Terry, I'm glad you got it all figured out, but you should have emailed me. Since I live in Toronto, and considering what you have done for me in the past, it wouldn't have been a problem for me to have ordered it, picked it up and shipped it to you.
