Canadians who need RB exported

[Daesania]

EDIT: Combined multiple posts for easier viewing.

Well, I'm making a trip for someone outside of the USA (<3 Sa_nick), so.. I figure if I'm going out and to the post office, if anyone else needs me to export the game, please send me a private message and we can discuss this.

I just need to know what system you want this bundle for, I must receive payment for the bundle and shipping before I can ship it for you, unfortunatly I cannot afford to be buying them for everyone and then requesting a COD on the shipping. This is a leap of trust, but hey, I'm not looking to make a profit out of it and I have been on these forums for quite some time now. You can always buy via ebay if you prefer, I'm just looking to help out the RB community.

I can give you a general idea on shipping, I cant give out exacts as of yet, I dont have an exact weight, but I've seen anywhere from 20 lbs to 25 lbs, but that difference in shipping price is about 20 dollars max. Once I receive the payment, I will go out that day, buy the bundle and ship it that same day. Depending on how fast you want it, I can have it sent priority mail and you can receive it up to 3 days (although that way is REALLY expensive). For me to send it 10 day to nick in Australia will cost around 280 dollars including the price of the bundle. I'm not sure off hand what it will cost to mail to Canada, give me a couple hours to get caught up at work and I'll figure it all out. Sending me a PM with your location if you want a price is your best bet however.

Canada rates:
global express (1-3 days)
115.25

express (3-5 days)
76.50

priority (6-10 days)
48.70

with taxes, rockband costs 182 dollars (rounded up a few cents) here.

Just to clarify...you're visiting Canada,willing to pick up the game in the US and send it to people in Canada while you're here?

[Daesania]

I'm willing to ship it to canada. I know that recently, a lot of online orders have been cancelled or delayed.

[municipalblack]

So would you be shipping the bundle from the US to Canada or from inside Canada?

[eldoctorg]

i would love for u to pick up a copy for me but sadly all the money i have is in eb store credit :(

[Daesania]

I am buying the RB bundle in Omaha Nebraska, and shipping to where ever. I am just offering to do this as I have seen and heard of many people outside of the US having their orders delayed or out right cancelled. One of my RB friends just paid double for it on ebay.... and I just want to help the RB community out by offering to ship it from the US to where ever. I'm not looking to make a dollar off of this, I'm just looking to get people their RB since I cant have mine :(

since you cant have yours? how come?

[Daesania]

No next gen system :/ I cant afford it right now unfortunatly, and with the hours on my full time job, there's no way i can find a part time job to fit around those. So for now, I just save up little by little and hopefully can afford it sometime early next year.

[Daesania]

Just addressing a few questions I've received via PM.

How this will work:

These arent set in stone rates, I will call on Monday to the Post Office to find out for sure, but according to usps.com, these are the rates to mail a 25 lb package to Canada:

global express (1-3 days)
115.25

express (3-5 days)
76.50

priority (6-10 days)
48.70

with taxes, rockband costs 182 dollars (rounded up a few cents) here.


If any other countries need rates, tell me.

[Daesania]

/bumping :) I've received a few messages, but I want others to be able to enjoy their holidays with Rockband!

Again, i'm stressing that I'm doing this NOT FOR PROFIT. I want to help out and spread holiday cheer!

[Rock_Starman]

Don't forget the duty tax people. Though there's a somewhat complicated way around that.

[Daesania]

/nod, they would have to pay for it with any other online order though as well.

[alexlabbe]

You're very kind for doing this. If only I would have known yesterday...i bought a rock band bundle on ebay because I couldnt find it anywhere else. It's people like you who give meaning to the word community

[Daesania]

Yes, you're the second person I heard who has bought theirs on Ebay :( Probably at an added cost too :( I <3 you all!

[xCHRISx]

Don't forget the duty tax people. Though there's a somewhat complicated way around that.

Video games are actually a duty free item. You might still get nailed for sales tax, but there would be no additional duty on the item. If they do charge you duty at the border, you can always appeal it, since border agents aren't always 100% in the know of what is exempt and what isn't, since it's such a complicated list.

Edit: Oh yeah, and props to the OP for doing this. If I hadn't gotten a friend to pick up and ship me Rock Band yesterday I would definitely have taken advantage of your services. FYI the box weighs 23 pounds, and will cost approximately $40-50 for shipping, depending on the carrier you choose.

[Daesania]

The shipping rates I posted earlier in the thread are based on a 25 lb package, so give or take 5 or 10 if its 23 lbs. Those are canada rates.. if anyone needs other country rates, i have the shipping page bookmarked.

I had to pay on GH 1. :( Though I didn't see that in stores untill March here so that was worth it. Also in another topic someone said there was a RB confiscated because someone tryed to not pay for it.

But this article does say it's duty free but still have to pay Canadian taxes: http://finance.sympatico.msn.ca/Investing/Insight/Article.aspx?cp-documentid=5513300

So basically about 3 weeks early for about $60 more unless you're paying that crazy overnight shipping. I pay for everything in cash so either way it's a no go for me. You could/should also be extra cool about it and throw in $10 more to help Daesania with her RB/next-gen system fund.

[Daesania]

no, i'm not asking for anything extra, and if it was included, then I'd put it back in the box. I'm just here to help out. Its not that much gas money either as I go to the post office daily (since I only use a PO box for mail), and Gamestop is 5 minutes away from that.

Edit: Some have asked when i would mail this out? As soon as i receive the payment, I would buy/send it the same day.

[Rock_Starman]

Yea I know,just saying could/should but since you'd send it back anyway...:p

[Daesania]

shameless bump :P

[LessThanYouThink]

Well, my girlfriend was unable to snag me a copy this weekend so I think I may just take you up on your offer :)
