Came across this very useful post on thebudgetfashionista.com and thought I’d share it with my readers (I changed it slightly so that it focuses on Canada)
I’ve received quite a few questions from readers regarding what US based online stores ship to Canada and other international destinations. Below is brief list of stores that ship abroad and of stores that don’t (Target still doesn’t ship abroad, which seems like a lost opportunity to me). If you know of any other stores, please feel free to add them below.
Who ships to Canada
American Eagle
eBay- Make sure to check where the seller ships BEFORE bidding
NeimanMarcus.com- must call 1-888-888-4757
Bloomingdales.com- must call 001-1-513-573-8170 for international shipping
Bluefly.com
YOOX.COM
Beauty.com and drugstore.com (via AccessUSA)
Bare Necessities
figleaves.com- (via it’s UK site)- looks like they don’t ship to Canada anymore. Thanks for the info ceci
Torrid.com
LaneBryant.com- Must have a Canadian Billing and Shipping Address.

Who doesn’t ship to Canada
Gap.com
OldNavy.com
BananaRepublic.com
Nordstrom.com
SaksFifthAvenue
Bebe.com
SmartBargains.com
Spiegel.com
Newport-news.com
Zappos.com
Target.com
Macys.com
newegg.com - thanks for the info Matt
woot.com
eluxury.comFor those who want to purchase from the above sites, you can sign up for a service called Access-USA, which creates a US mailing address for you to use for purchases (and things like magazines) and then forwards the items to your international address. A word of caution: the service isn’t cheap, but if you live in China and are desperate for that Isaac Mizrahi dress, this is an option.

I tried ordering from figleaves.com (UK) some days ago since it says on the site that they ship to Canada, I ended up getting this email telling me that they do NOT ship to Canada… so, I don’t know if it is just a single incidence or if they really don’t ship to Canada
M@ says...
EddieBauer.com also ships to Canada. The rates are ridiculous (especially since they’re actually shipping from their warehouse in Mississauga) but sometimes the sale prices on their site justify it…
Matthew says...
newegg.com doesn’t to canada:@ oh and woot.com is sorta an online store and it also doesnt ship to canada
lisalikespink says...
other sites that ship to canada include:
victoriasecret.com
shopbop.com

thank you victoria secret for shipping to Canada…!
Dave from Wholesale Furniture Brokers says...
Hi!
Honestly - took me a long time to find a current and useful page dedicated to Canadian shopping. Also - we’re Canadian & we SHIP TO CANADA! If you’re looking for furniture, we’ll ship it to you anywhere in Canada. We’ve even sent a few orders to Yellowknife (it just costs a little more for shipping.) Merry Christmas everyone!
M@ says...
Glad to contribute — this is indeed a great roundup. Hope you keep adding to it. It’s really useful information.
jj says...
Nordstrom DOES ship to Canada, but you have to call in your order…they will not take your order online.
Sarah Arnold says...
I am the Customer Service Manager for figleaves.com and can confirm that we do ship to Canada via our UK site.
Ceci, I’m sorry that you had a problem ordering, if you’d like to contact me I’d be pleased to sort out any issues.
Matt Newell says...
You should look into mail forwarding services. http://www.bongous.com is the one I use. they have a lot of good tools at http://www.bongous.com/tools.php.
If your making multiple purchases it can be cost effective to consolidate them with bongo, they will hold shipments for a month no charge.
sally says...
gymboree.com ships to canada
so does shoebuy.com, but I dont recommend them bc they ship by DHL and charge ridiculous import fees
sally says...
also, cduniverse.com ships here
Jc Penney ships here but charges a lot extra
zappos.ca ships here, like Zappos.com still comes from the USA
Overstock. com does not
Kathy Oberegger says...
I know the following stores ship to Canada: Coldwater Creek, J.C. Penney, QVC and Aerosoles.
A says...
J crew and LL Bean also both ship to Canada
sally says...
JC penney’s brokerage fees are a rip off
Alex says...
Come on folks.
Are ‘Smart Canucks’ really that smart when they put ourselves, our neighbours, and our community out of work by buying from other lands? It is bad enough that we shop retailers that are nothing more than importers for the China slave labour market. There used to be a time when Canadians believed that we are all in this together.
Now it is Every Man For Himself.
Start supporting Canadian retailers (the few that are left) and see if there is anything still made in Canada in them.
ringer says...
Overstock.com used to ship to canada….my sister got 3 pairs of shoes from them earlier this year. Now they don’t. i wish they would make up their minds
sally says...
I dont make 200k a year to buy only made in canada products Alex, sorry.
Since most stuff is made in asia and if we can get it cheaper over the bottle why not.
Canadian ”made in canada” retailers are just too pricey or dont have what I want.
marianne says...
Lands End and Sierra Trading Post do too…
sally says...
Can you tell I was distracted by a hyper toddler. I meant border and not bottle… hahaha
Angie says...
The Children’s Place online does not ship to Canada.
Nats says...
Bath and Body Works DOES NOT SHIP to Canada
“Your French Labelling Issues” I was told!!!
Christian Beauregard says...
in answer to Alex
When there is a 80$ difference between countries i think it’s justified to say hey, i am not getting screwed over here specially with our Dollar being so strong.
Prices here should reflect that but store owners, i think, are screwing with us by not lowering whatever they import from there.
I have search for computer parts and the price difference from the US and here is astounding, it’s cheaper to buy there anyway you see it.
One other thing i found strange is when you can order from a US store, i find that a lot of them will not accept credit card, they want money order or certified checks, i mean what’s the problem with my cc.
Shirley Cook says...
Just to let everyone in on a few facts about Canadian retailers and the prices most are charging now for there products.
In the retail industry seasonal products are bought approx. a year in advance so the prices they are charging now is merchandise that was purchased at $.80 on the dollar not at $1.08 that it is now.
So all retails have to reflect what they paid. Some I will say are trying very hard to reduce the price and still try to make a profit.
Please try and shop in Canada as much as possible
Stacey says...
I saw screw the Cdn retailers!!! If it was the other way around and they were going to receive more profits because of the Cdn dollar they would make sure to get the best deal as soon as possible….the free market is supposed to promote competition and provide the consumer with the best price…it is up to the Cdn retailers to lower their prices NOW and not when their hearts desire…..if they don’t then I hope that more Cdns will go across the border as smart shoppers should! When Cdn retailers see a drop in their profits this Christmas and a drop in the number of customers coming through their doors maybe they will drop their prices….for too long Cdns have been getting the short end of the stick!!!
sally says...
Im not just talking about the recent parity.
Even two years ago id rather buy american products then from canadian retailers in my cases because even with the exchange Id still save!
I bought my engagment ring 500 dollars cheaper from the USA for the exact same cut and clarity then from a canadian retailer.
So its not like im just talking about recent parity.
Quite often even when the Ca dollar was at 80 cents stuff was still way cheaper from the usa is what im trying to say.
Prices never dropped from when the dollar went from .60 to .80, with canadian retailers so dont mind me if im not keen on buying from them.
Pat says...
jcpenny.com
Online orders accepted and shipped to Canada right to your door. Often I have received my order faster than ordering from our Canadian catalog store.
J. Lafitte says...
Land’s End ships to Canada. They’re a retailer of economical “classic” casual wear (think polo shirts, chinos, and penny loafers). Duty and taxes are added to the price of the goods, but shipping is pretty fast and they do have low enough prices on some items that even with the federal / provincial add-ons you can come out ahead.
abfab says...
Ebags.com ships to Canada. Their site automatically converts to Cdn $ and adds duty/taxes. Free shipping offers do not apply, but you can use promo codes to reduce the fee.
abfab says...
Another one is eforcity.com. Great place to get cheap accessories for cell phone, ipod, etc. Can often get free shipping with promo code and they send in such a way that you can avoid duties/taxes. They send right away but it usually sits at customs for at least a week.
Jeff Irvine says...
Check out http://www.cross-bordershopping.com it will allow access to various U.S based retailers who ship to Canada. If they do not ship north you can sign up for a package forwarding service right on the site for a reasonable fee. Store content will be limited from the sites opening Nov 16, until the 19th, but will increase significantly the week of Nov 19-23 with North America’s top retailers accessible to Canadian all on one site just in time for Christmas.
Ohno says...
It won’t even let me get onto the american abercrombieandfitch website i automatically get sent to the canadian one with the canadian prices~!
nis says...
Paula’s Choice ships to Canada, and a few times a year they offer either FREE SHIPPING with a minimum order, or $3 for shipping. These shipping deals apply to Canada as well. I ordered a few days ago, and my $3 shipping was sent by UPS, I could track it and everything. prices are in USD.
http://www.cosmeticscop.com
FYI - amazing skin care, reasonable prices, honest and transparent about their products, excellent customer service, product reviews of other skin care lines right on the website. I’m in love!
Donedat says...
Buy where ever you like!
Even if they don’t ship direct to Canada, UPS and most of the other international carriers offer a freight forwarding service from the border…..just contact your carrier of choice and let them know what you want to do and they will give you the info and address (at the border point) to have it shipped to from the retailer/supplier.
For larger items, you can contact most Canadian Customs Broker services who also offer a “Freight Forward” service, where you have the US supplier ship to their forwarding warehouse on the border and the broker will clear and freight forward the product direct to you (freight, clearance and any duties charges are your baby of course)
I have done it many times….and saved a load.
youpla says...
Nordstrom does ship to Canada , you just have to call !
Bob Baker says...
http://www.dealextreme.com free shipping to canada. HK online store, VERY cheap, alot of useless crap, but good for cables, adapters. Shipping takes ~2 weeks, and its paypal.
Val Sullivan says...
Val’s Customized, check out their cool Crazy spandex Shorts, ships to Canada
Val Sullivan says...
sorry the website is http://www.valscustomized.com
Matty says...
The company is based in Texas and I got a great deal on my Toric contacts: about $185 cheaper per year then in Canada ($375(CAN) vs $190(USD) including shipping). I don’t know if it was a fluke, but I had no GST or PST added by customs (the contacts are made in the USA). http://www.shipmycontacts.com
Chelsea says...
Bebe.com now ships to Canada, thankfully!
Victor says...
The bloomingdales tel # is not valid! Do you know any other ways to order with them?
lele says...
Forever 21 ships to canada
julia says...
Hey Zappos DOES ship to canada!!
It is kinda weird though
you go to Zappos canada, then they list the shoes they have for sale, but you can actually search for other shoes and they then show all the american shoes availible too. So You can buy shoes that are on the american site through the Canadian site, you just have to search. I bought some PUMA contre lace this way, was very cheap shipping too!!! and they are sooo not availible at any other canadian store!
Anne says...
pfiwestern.com ships to Canada. Customer service is excellent.
Mindy says...

Tina says...
My daughter is living in Canada and married to a Canadian. I was very happy when I found out that I can live in the states, order from the Sears.ca site, and have their gifts delivered to them with only an photo ID needed from them.
npc456 says...
Lands End ships to Canada (from Canada!). I cannot recomend this service highly enough. You shop in US$ on landsend.com but they ship from Niagara Falls ON, which really reduces the shipping costs. They are also up front about all the taxes and dutiers. Best of all, you can return items to any Canadian Sears store.
david says...
http://www.mercerandsons.com is happy to ship to Canada
Aany questions, let us know please.
Thank you.
David Mercer
david says...
We are happy to ship to Canada!
The best men’s dress and sport shirts….boxers, too.
Alicat says...

Alicat says...
LL Bean ships to Canada
Marcia says...
http://www.ladonnavera.com
Ships to Canada : )
Ginger says...
garnethill.com ships to Canada but you would have to phone in your order. They don’t collect duty and tax upfront so you’d have to pay a handling fee to the shipper who collects tax from you.
coldwatercreek.com ships to Canada. Shipping fee is high but their percentage off code and free shipping code applies to Canadian shoppers so just search fo a code or subscribe to their email. Beware their clothes are not true to size.
talbots.com ships to Canada and their percentage off code and free shipping code applies to Canadian shoppers as well, so just google for one. They are having a great sale right now and the prices are better than the Canadian B&M stores. Again, they don’t collect duty and tax upfront. Place an order under CA$20 and you won’t need to pay tax and duty. Returns are within 90 days to a Talbots store in Canada.
Carey says...
payless.com does not ship to canada
jas says...
gymboree.com ships to canada and is pretty reasonable!

I love clothes designed by Custo Barcelona and have bought from their online store before:

macgilma says...
Bath and Body Works now ships to Canada. Just thought I’d mention it for those who don’t live close to a city that now has a store.
Natalka says...
orientaltrading.com - big variety of giftware, kids stuff, party stuff.
They use BorderFree Canada Post - so after you make your shopping cart, you get transferred to BorderFree and can see the exchange rate, duties, etc. on each item - and can cancel items, or your shipment there before it goes through.
John says...
http://www.shipito.com - solution for store who don’t ship to Canada. $8.50 per package + postage. Can be shipped by USPS (no custom brokerage) or Fedex.
Alexandra says...
I was just on the Lane Bryant site, and it says shipping in the United States only, “no international orders, including Canada”
Lee says...
Buckle.com now has international shipping including canada, only 3 months after I complained, go figure……the shipping is ok if you are getting a few items. Also Newegg.ca opened recently the prices are great but shipping still comes from US so takes awhile
charlotte says...
Hi all! We are a wholesaler of home and garden accessories, based out of Seattle, WA, and we ship to canada as well. (Duties, etc. apply)

Thinkgeek.com is an awesome site that ships to Canada and has great, unique toys, games, and gadgets. They use UPS courier and the shipping fees are reasonable. I just got all my stocking stuffers for Christmas here!
Tim says...
I don’t see any bodybuilding supplement companies listed. http://www.nutraplanet.com ships to Canada

this message is for John that wrote “http://www.shipito.com - solution for store who don’t ship to Canada. $8.50 per package + postage. Can be shipped by USPS (no custom brokerage) or Fedex.”
John- have you used this service before? what was your experience like?

@Vivian: I have used Shipito several times while I was studying abroad. All I can say is they were cheap and my stuff always came on time without being destroyed!
