If anybody from the Ottawa region has family or a US postal shipping address and happens to go regularly please contact me privately.
Many thanks.

Just to let you know, the UPS Store in Odgensburg will accept parcels for you for $5, or something like that. A friend of mine just had tires delivered there.

Where is Odgensburg? How did he go about it? There is an item on ebay that the guy won't ship out of country. Please provide the details if possible. Thanks Colby.

Interesting but doesn't say whether you have to ship UPS to use this service - the ariticle implies that you can use any shipping service (USPS?) and just pay UPS the $5 when you pick it up.

However, be aware that some sellers won't ship to an address other then your registered Paypal address if you pay that way. So you may want to add this UPS address as an alternate on your paypal account

I'm not sure what my buddy used, but the big issue with using UPS is the brokerage fees, not the shipping charges. There's no brokerage fees this way...

Cool,

I guess that answers that question

We have used that location many times in Ogdensburgh whenever we purchase something off of Ebay. Never had any problems with them

Don't think you can add a US address as an alternate:

I am going to my daughter's place in a couple of weeks...for Christmas but mainly to pick up my ebay purchases...new cart, hybrid, golf towels and golf tool..whoops forgot about the boots I sent to her yesterday.

Heck I even have a truck if it's a yamaha cart you are ordering!

PS. She is getting a little ticked at me because I have my new 3 wheeled cart in her computer room! Father's revenge for all those "Just where the heck is she late nights as a teen!"

[Chieflongtee]

Thanks for all the replies. It won't be necessary though as the auction is going wild and is past my maximum bid.
