I am crazy about online shopping, to be honest, 2/3 of my clothes, shoes, accessories, cookwares and stationeries are bought online.  However, Canada does not have a wide range of fashionable websites, even some stuff are good, it is still a bit more expensive compared to the US websites.  It is not cheap to mail stuff purchasing online from other country. Despite the international shipping fees, there is still  about 20% tax needed to be added. It is often like the price doubles the original price after adding the shipping fees and tax… The even more frustrating thing is that some websites do not ship to Canada!   Below are a few websites that I shop regularly, which do not feature international shipping.

About a year ago, I discovered that I could actually shipped my stuff to a US city,-Points Roberts.. this city features for receiving and ship goods for Canadian, especially people from Vancouver!  Shipped to Point Roberts let my enjoy the free or low shipping fees as well as the heavy tax! It is just soooo easy to go to this place, close to White rock. I live in Vancouver, it took me less than hour to drive there.  There are a few mail drop services in this city. They charge you $3.5 for each pkg.   Another happy thing is that the gasoline in the states are much cheaper!So every time I go to Point Roberts, pick up my stuff and then have my car fueled!  I really enjoy have my stuff shipped to Point Roberts, it is a US online shopaholic’s best friend….
