So there was a deal on a Kitchen Aid mixer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=1C2-0001-00083 for $219. I ordered and paid with my Canadian paypal account, to ship to my mailbox across the border. Newegg cancelled my order, because they won't service Canadian credit cards or Paypal accounts on their US site. FFFFFUUUUU
I went to Esso, purchased a prepaid visa for $20. Went to the giftcard site and addded the address of my mailbox as my home address Created a new paypal account with address of my mailbox and added the giftcard as my main card. Paypal checks credit card company, addresses match, instant US verified paypal account. Sent myself money from my Canadian account to my US account. Paid Newegg.
Result, mixer is sitting at my mailbox waiting for pickup, allow me to say FFFFFUUUUU to Newegg....

basically a US freight forwarding house? http://www.usaddressinc.com
I guess you forgot any paypal fees you had and the travel and gas to pickup
In sure the math adds up in your head though

There is a simpler way of doing this, you can add a second billing address to your CC, problem solved.
I have my PO box as my secondary billing address, card is recognized as a US card, haven't had problems.
When are you going?

now you have to go pick it up and only 450 watts? dragon club is displeased. I have my projector mount, my new screen, clothes, BBQ parts and a bunch of other shit sitting there waiting for pickup. 450 W is good considering the one we have now is only 300.
Buys hundreds if not thousands of dollars in goods from the U.S. but makes half a dozen posts about how shit the Canadian dollar is and how it's not worth purchasing anything from the states. Good work.

How much cake y'all eat? I love cake, but I probably only eat it twice a year. Maybe because I don't have one of these..
There are many uses for it, comes with multiple attachments. Having said that, we use ours once a month on average.

actually, shit...wifey needs one. wayne order me one? lol
guess i'll start hitting up the flyers, i think Target has the best price from what i've seen...hopefully walmart beats it, no?
it depends which model# you get too as they differ in price. Posted it in OT a few days back, the deal is already done.
Buys hundreds if not thousands of dollars in goods from the U.S. but makes half a dozen posts about how shit the Canadian dollar is and how it's not worth purchasing anything from the states. Good work.
If you wait for the sales, it still is., otherwise, it isn't. I'll give you an example, I just bought a jacket. US price, $595 US, I bought it from Harry in FCP (close to my work), price, $695 http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/boss-hugo-boss-coxtan-wool-blend-overcoat/3782220?origin=category At the time, the $595 US = $691 CAD.

Walmart doesn't carry the Pro. They all like almost the same but there are differences like tilting head and more powAh of course.
