Yeah meh.com doesn't ship to Canada but that doesn't mean you can't order ;-) nod nod
popular methods include using a shipping forwarding company and if you're close to the Border you can always use a prepaid gift card from the US and then rent a mailbox to have all your Meh.com crap sent to
I'm about 65 miles from the US border and have a US PO box. And now you can use the post office's street address for UPS shipments. Sweet! It's a get fuel, get groceries, get mail, get stuff day trip.
@transplant yep - I live in the US and have a USPS box for my business. Not only can I have USPS shipments sent to the street address, but also UPS and FedEx! And that box is dramatically less expensive than a UPS mail box.
@RedOak Amazingly enough yes. Gas prices in International Falls, MN are just under $2.00/gal. Across the border in Fort Frances, it's right around $1.00/liter. With 3.78 liters in a gallon (I'll do the math for you!), that's about 3.85 a gallon. With the exchange rate in play (1 US = 1.25).... well, you do that math. Most of my Canadian friends are not crossing the border as much to shop because of the exchange rate. Early in the year it was at .42 cent difference!
You must be in the Detroit area if you're looking south to Canada!
Hi Canada! Here's a link to one of the forum discussions about Canadian shipping. Sorry -- it's bad news for you.

Canada, eh?
@DaveInSoCal Sounds like a perfect opportunity to launch: Meh.eh.ca
Any mention of Canada, and my mind goes here...

@transplant Is American fuel better than Canadian fuel?
@therealjrn It's a heck of a lot cheaper in the U.S.
@Barney I did not know that--I guess on top of that they might sell fuel by the liter?
@therealjrn Yep.

@transplant Do those US road trips still make sense with at the current exchange rate?
We live in the only area of the lower 48 that is North of Canada and have noticed far, far fewer Ontario plates lately.

@transplant yep about 30 min north of Detroit or 35 min north of Windsor.
Wow - $3.85? I wonder if part of that difference is taxes?
Canada? That's... not a real place.
edit: see? Just America!
