Hey guys,

Have been wondering....on the Ebay auction site you guys say that you'll
only ship to the US.
How do us Canucks go about getting product from this?

    Hi Steve,

    I would feel awful if we accidentally missed your posting on this list
    and didn't respond.
    If you have a question specifically for Parallax, please email us at one
    of the following addresses:
    support@p... = Technical Support
    sales@p... = Sales/Customer Service

    In this case, are you able to place the order and ship to a freight
    forwarder in the US that will in turn ship to Canada? The ebay items
    are available at such a discounted price that we were forced to limit
    these items to domestic shipping. Unfortunately, I don't expect this
    policy to change. I would recommend taking a look at our Canadian
    distributor list -

    Hi Steve,

    I live in Canada also, and have had the same problem that you are talking
    about when I buy items from eBayer's in the States.
    Since I live close to the border (Hamilton) I ask the seller to ship the
    item to a UPS Customer Counter in Niagara Falls NY. I then watch the UPS
    tracking number and go fetch it when it arrives. The UPS staff will also
    call you if the shipper puts your phone number on the label.
    The label must also say "Hold for customer pickup"
    This system works great, except for the drive to go get the stuff.

    Don't get UPS to ship the item directly to you as their brokerage fees will
    hurt, been there done that!

    Contact me off list if you have any more questions as there are more options
    available!

    Scott
