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!

    Does what exist anywhere?

    I’m sorry, but these kinds of titles irritate the fuck out of me. It’s like clickbait, but without the bait. Just… “Want to know wtf I’m talking about? Then why don’t you read the post, its not like titles serve any purpose”

      Yep. The title should get at least a very rough idea of what you’re looking for.

      It’s asklemmy so we already know you’re asking a question. So you can typically get away with just doing like an email subject level of description.

      “US to Canada buy and reship services?”

      “Options for Canadians to get items sold in US?”

      “How can a Canadian get something from the US that isn’t sold online?”

      All of these would work and attract people who might know or have dealt with similar issues, as well as those who dealt with totally different issues that may share the solution, getting you better answers to your question instead of the shotgun approach and hoping the right people are curious enough to click on your post.
