Americans, help a Canadian out!

Hey, so I want to buy a dumb old toy for a friend for his birthday, unfortunately, it's either pay 30+ bucks American for shipping on top of the already inflated price of the item on Ebay or order from the Amazon marketplace, where it's MUCH cheaper, but it doesn't ship to the fabled Canadas. So, I would propose to buy this item from Amazon, have it shipped to you, the person who is going help me, wherein you would forward it on to me here in Canadia.

I could Paypal you the cost of shipping lickety split and all that.

Welcome to my problem the last decade or so. I use an underground system of American Mules to make this happen but since you're a lousy 5-O I ain't gonna give up names, you 'ear?

It probably would, but I think at this point I'm just not going to get it. As much as I would like to it does look like the shipping between our countries has just gotten obscenely expensive over the last couple years. I can't justify spending far more on shipping than on the item itself.

I live near the border (3 miles). but i don't have a passport, otherwise i could ship it to "ship happens" and pick it up, then ship it to you

Yeah, the shipping to you would be cheap, but you shipping to me would be absurd. O_C ran me down the flat rate shipping based on package size.

I have prime, so it would be free if it was prime eligible and I ordered it. It must be big if it's that expensive.

It's not, it's just an old McFarlane toy. But my experience with Amazon is they do ship in large ass boxes for nearly everything.
