It’s there a site or resource where, as a Canadian, I can pay an American to buy something for me and ship it to me? I know there are lots of international shipping resources, but the item I want isn’t sold online, so I would need someone to physically purchase it before shipping it to me. Sorry if this is a stupid question!

    There’s also the option of “collection/storagr places” by the border - businesses that provide you with US shipping address and hold your parcel, usually at least for few days up to a month or two for free…of course the downside is that you have to live near the border and whatever you want to order and collect has to be worth the hassle for you to go across the border

      For something like 70% of Canadians that would work. They mostly live within 250 miles of the border, and they’re almost as car-centric as the US is.
