bjarvisYes, it's two days after xmas but it's still raising my blood pressure.
I'm trying to get some Fisher Price "Read With Me" DVDs for my two-year-old niece in Parry Sound, Ontario. While I've found suppliers in the US, sending them across the border into Canada not only will require additional shipping expense, but also customs & duties, processing fees and a tonne of headaches for the recipients. I've shipped items to family in Canada before and regretted it every time: I now only order from Canadian outlets to be shipped directly to Canadian destinations.
The snag is that I haven't been able to find any retail outlet outside of the US of "Read With Me" products. All the usual suspects --Sears, Hudson's Bay, Zellers, Canadian Tire, Toys-R-Us.ca, Amazon.ca, etc.-- have all come up dry.
Anyone have any recommendations of online Canadian retail outlets? Kaylee will forgive a single present from her weird uncles arriving late, but if I can't find something soon, I'll have to think of some form of Plan B.
