We usually make up a box and send it to Canada, but the postage is so expensive. Any good websites which you can recommend to order from where they will deliver?

not sure about perfumes and stuff. Shopper's Drug Mart is like Boots, but don't think they do online shopping

What about chocolates?

purplemonkeydishwasher · 06/12/2007 07:57

just a point: some canadian website WON'T take UK credit cards.
amazon is fine, i'm sure i've ordered from toys r us before. but not sure about the others.

(Canadian online shopping SUCKS!!)

Oh god! bernard callebaut!
we used to live near one of his chocolate shops...i put on a lot of weight that year...

Purplemonkey, you are so right - on both the chocolate and awfulness of Canadian internet shopping! I must admit, though, that I haven't had many problems using my UK card, and I find that if you ring up local shops they will usually arrange delivery at a reasonable rate if they aren't on the web.

awayinNaeManger · 07/12/2007 07:00

ring up local shops?

actually now that you mention that I tried that last year. note: don't ever try to phone Krevco to order soemthing for my boring BIL. Useless doesn't cover it.

actually, I have to buy something for my boring BIL again. the 'list' he's given out is expensive and/or stupid. (Who asks for a SHOEHORN?? I ask you!)
I was going to get him a Chuck Norris T-shirt But have just been informed by sis that he will only wear plain shirts.

so what do you get a boring guy (non-techy) that's cheap (we're skint) and available over the internet??

canadian tire vouchers

it's sort of like a cross between B&Q and Halfords...really dull.My db loves it.

or lee valley A personal favourite of my Dad!

awayinNaeManger · 07/12/2007 17:15

actually i never even thought to check to see if i could get RONA vouchers (which were on boring BIL's list). it looks like Canada might be entering the modern age after all!

ggirlsbells · 07/12/2007 17:17

the shopping there really is a load of old shit isn't it.
