GFC is Back in Business! Worldwide Package Forwarding & Item Ordering Services ^_^.

1) Direct Request (DR) Services - The service that started it all, our Direct Request (DR) Service allows you to buy just about anything you want from the USA and have us order it and ship it directly to you. This is perfect for those of you who are unable to buy from USA merchants that will not ship to Canada directly or who do not accept Canadian/International credit cards. We charge $2.00 per item ordered plus shipping. Additional fees apply for items weighing more than 5 pounds shipped or more than $150 USD in value. Our online form will calculate everything for you automatically and there's no obligation to buy anything until you check out with Paypal. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about our services.

2) Package Forwarding (PF) Services, Address & Rates - [PREMIUM SERVICE] If you want to order the items yourself, you can! You can order from any website that ships to the USA. Ship the items to our secure UPS mail box and we will repackage them and ship them to you in Canada (or any other country for that matter). Typical fees apply for this service as usual and you pay only $1.00 per package received at our mail location. Quick, easy and GREAT for limited-time sales when the Direct Request option may not be quick enough. Please note we cannot ship: meat, cigarettes or other nicotine items (including electronic cigarettes and their accessories), alcohol, weapons or gun accessories (including paintball/airsoft), pornographic materials, toxic chemicals (including several cleaning liquids), fertilizer or any items that are illegal to ship internationally. Also, any items containing NI-CD or LI-Ion Batteries can no longer be shipped via USPS (Laptops, cell phones, handheld game systems, etc.) and must be shipped via UPS instead. If you have questions about a particular item, please contact us first before ordering.  You will receive an Email invoice with PDF attachment explaining line-by-line details of all charges and full payment options. GFC PF Service Requires Premium Membership which costs $10.00 a month or $100.00 a year (discount of two free months) and is available in our GFC Store. Full details on website.

3) GYROS Updates - After you have ordered your items, filled out the forms and notified us of your order we will add your items to our GYROS page (generally within a week or less). Once your items have been received, we will invoice you for the shipping costs + our service charge. After receiving your payment, your items will be shipped out to you in a timely manner and you will receive an Email with all relevant shipping information ^_^. If you have any questions feel free to Email us at [email protected] .

Service Charges (Free Members):

GFC Charges $2.00 per item forwarded for standard or "Free" Members. Please note that an item in this case refers to each item within the packages you ship to us. So if you were to order say 2 DVD Movies, an Umbrella and a Towel, this would count as 4 items total. Items that are sold in "Lots" such as multiple baseball cards will be counted as one item, subject to our discretion. Also, UPS Charges me to pick up the packages, so there will be an additional charge of $1.00 per package received. I will add into the invoice for you when I get your iitems in.

For larger orders, an extra $5.00 USD surcharge is added for each 5 pounds your package weighs OR per $150 in value of their total contents (example: a 5 pound package would cost an additional $5.00 USD, a 10 pound package would cost an additional $10.00 USD OR a $150 item (or group of items totaling $150 or more) would have an additional $5.00 USD charged, a $300 group of items would have an additional $10.00 USD charged). Please note that this will be either a weight or cost surcharge and not both, but the greater of the two will be what is charged. An item weighing 14 pounds will still only be $10 added as it didn't yet reach the 15 pound mark. This will be shown on your invoice and will be clearly explained. In the near future, this service charge will be automatically calculated for package forwarding items the way it is currently automatically calculated on our Direct Request 2.0 system.

So Again the things to remember:

1) Ship to the address above
2) Ship all packages in my name (James Parks) and if you want to include your information as a “Gift Message” on the order, you certainly can do that. This is required though to be in my name as the UPS store will only sign for packages in my name and will refuse all others.
3) You MUST fill out the Direct Request (DR) form on the link above to let me know what’s coming
4) Once I receive your DR submission and all your items, I will invoice you for the shipping cost plus service fees.

Estimated Shipping Costs:

The following are shipping estimates for standards weights. This will give you a pretty good idea of how much it will cost to ship your item to Canada. If you live in another country, feel free to inquire by contacting us directly.

For all items from 0 - 4 pounds we typically use USPS First Class Mail:

$00.00 = 0 Pounds / Digital Items
$09.00 = 6 ounces
$09.00 = 7 ounces
$09.50 = 12 ounces
$11.00 = 1 Pound
$16.50 = 2 Pounds
$22.00 = 3 Pounds
$27.50 = 4 Pounds

For all items from 5 pounds and up we typically use USPS Priority Mail:

$38.00 = 5 Pounds
$40.00 = 6 Pounds
$42.50 = 7 Pounds
$45.00 = 8 Pounds
$47.50 = 9 Pounds
$49.50 = 10 Pounds
$52.00 = 11 Pounds
$54.50 = 12 Pounds
$57.50 = 13 Pounds
$55.00 = 14 Pounds
$62.50 = 15 Pounds
$60.00 = 16 Pounds
$63.00 = 17 Pounds
$70.00 = 18 Pounds
$72.50 = 19 Pounds
$75.00 = 20 Pounds
$77.50 = 21 Pounds
$80.00 = 22 Pounds
$83.00 = 23 Pounds
$85.50 = 24 Pounds
$88.00 = 25 Pounds

For any items over 25 pounds, we'll have to manually invoice you.

On Hold & Unclaimed Merchandise:

GFC allows you to send items to our secure UPS Package Forwarding address (listed above). After you order your items it is your responsibility to properly fill out our Package Forwarding (PF) Form on our website located here: http://www.gamesforcanada.com/package-forwarding.php . Once you do this, we will be notified of the items you have ordered and you will pre-pay the shipping/service charges up front for us to process and re-ship them to you.

The first 30 days are free to hold all Package Forwarding items.This is plenty of time for you to successfully order from the various stores that you want and submit our PF form to notify us. This also allows for adequate time for you to request us to combine items into a single package.

After 30 days, there will be a $5.00 USD charge per ITEM per week (flat rate fee) until the payment has been paid in full. Since you are pre-paying for the item costs, you will be responsible for both shipping to your country, our GFC Service Charges and any processing fees associated with the transaction.

After 90 days, GFC will not be responsible for unclaimed or missing merchandise sent to us at our Package Forwarding address. We suggest that you fully insure all orders sent to our address in case of loss or damage as we will not be responsible for missing or damaged goods.

by the way PuppetYuber, when you say Chain of Memories are you referring to the new PS2 remake of the GBA original? I assume that you are but that one is technically:

"
Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories"


Let me know. Thanks! It's $29.99 on Amazon.com plus shipping and such to Canada.
 
maigoyume they are about $12 USD each after shipping from that Amazon Seller. So shipped they'd be about $17 USD for one pair and about $32 for two pairs. Let me know!
 
[quote name='goomba478']whitehawk, I can ship virtually anything as I've said before :) No restriction to games only or anything. I've shipped tons of headphones, speakers, clothing items, food items, you name it. Just let me know the pair's model and I'll send you an invoice :) Thanks! Feel free to PM me with your personal information (Name, Address, Email and Phone number). THANKS![/quote]Great. Thanks so much :)

I'm going to get this pair, but before you order it, how much would it cost me exactly with shipping and exchange rate? thx :)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...f?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228683371&sr=8-1
 
lordhokage, if the monoprice doesn't work out for you let me know :) I'd be happy to get you any other cables or accessories that you can't find ^_^ Thanks!
 
PuppetYuber it doesn't seem like it. I'll ask my cousin if he can order one for tomorrow but Amazon has maxed out my account :( Sorry bro. Glad you found the Chain of Memories!
 
alright np, i will just get them off amazon.ca without the pre-order bundle xD

but ya, i went to fs/bb/toys r us/zellers and none of them had chain of memories lol
finally found them at ebgames today =X
 
Sorry man. I'm sure people will be selling the art book seperately on eBay next week. So if you find one for a good price I'd be happy to help you get one :) It may end up cheaper that way than ordering the game from me and having it shipped to Canada and all. Never know :)
 
Np it is alright. Since amazon.ca and amazon.com has the same price listed, with or without the bundle, so i dont mind paying like 5-10 dollars more for them. It is not like i really want them though lol. I didn't get the Persona 3 FES bundle for 29.99. When I bought my Personas 3 FES off amazon.ca a few weeks ago, the game itself costed me 29.99. I wasn't aware of the fact that, the bundle was selling for the same price, which is really strange lol. (gimme my free artbook and soundtrack damn you amazon!)

thanks anyways
 
If makai kingdom is still 12 bucks, could you grab me one and then just combine with my P4 order when that arrives? Also, if that P4 social link expansion pack pops up again between now and release and you see it, could you grab one as well? Amazon.ca had it in stock briefly but I got the notice email too late. Thanks goomba, let me know!
 
Hey guys I am back home now and will be up for the next thirty minutes or so. They sent me home from work an hour early (casino was DEAD) which sucks but oh well. I get an extra hour of sleep which is probably worth its weight in gold right now :)

I will let you know maigoyume about your items in the next post in a minute.
 
maigoyume it would come to about $115 USD for everything you mentioned shipped. Just so you know, if you were to spend $20 more on the vitamin website you could save on the shipping (free shipping on orders over $90). The shipping is about $7 or $8 anyway so really if you spend 12 more you're getting 20 worth. Not sure if you care or not.

Let me know :) Thanks!
 
PuppetYuber, yup I just picked up a couple copies myself. Hope it stays that way tomorrow :) Thanks for the tip! Anyone interested in a copy? $25 USD shipped to Canada for Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (PS2) Brand New!

Let me know :) Thanks![/quote]I tried adding up to $90 worth of vitamins into the cart, they won't let you get free standard shipping because of the weight. Anyways 12 bottles of those vitamins will be plenty, along with the 2 headphones. Thanks a lot goomba.

Edit: My bro also wants a pair of these

Oh Thank God...it's back. My stupid Internet provider today disconnected my service and for the last 12+ hours or so I was totally Internet free...I was about ready to pull my hair out :) Luckily it's back. Oh man is it good to be back!

Mberkes, I was actually able to get you the $12 Makai Kingdom. Did you not want it now?

maigoyume, I'll look into that for your brother and send you an estimated invoice tonight (if all goes well with my orders and packing...being without internet set me behind almost 8 hours now).

WillGabriel, haha yeah it is still in it's Pre-Beta format actually. Black Friday set me over a week behind so the real beta probably won't launch until after Christmas (still trying to get new orders out). That Skate 2 price sounds too good to be true :) I will send you an invoice though and hopefully they'll honor the price!
 
I'm here ... sorry my wife and I had a little bit of a fight today over all the boxes and stuff in the house. My little business/project has sort of taken over the living room and house and she was really upset about it. So we just spent like the last 4 hours or so cleaning it up. To top it off, we had to get a ladder from Home Depot to utilize our newly acquired attic and it worked out okay (not nearly done yet but I told her it'll be done by the end of the week).

Puppetyuber, no I didn't get either of them because nobody had requested them and for me I already have enough games on backlog.

whitehawk, let me go figure it out for you right this second ^_^ BRB
 
41AXHdwd96L._SL500_AA280_.jpg

Whitehawk here is an estimate of what it'd cost you:

Panasonic RP-HTX7-G1 Monitor Headphones (green)

$32.30 USD - Actual cost of Headphones from Amazon (I get free shipping from them)
$06.00 USD - Shipping cost of a 1 pound package to Canada
$02.00 USD - My service fee for efforts
------------
$40.30 USD - Grand Total. Please add 6% if paying with a credit card. If you want me to order for you just let me know by PM Your Full Name, Address, Email and Phone number and I will send you an official invoice with instructions. Thanks!
 
Maigoyume, with the pair your brother wants in addition to the other items it'll be approximately $140 USD Shipped to Canada for everything. Let me know :) Thanks!
 
The problem is that I have been buying too much stuff in the hopes of selling it in the future and a lot of it has fallen by the wayside :( My credit card debt actually went up this year by almost 20% despite having a lot of sales and a pretty decent amount of purchases. A lot of this has to do with interest, but honestly most of it is because I buy too much with hopes of selling it and then not finding buyers in time :( That's why I'm trying only to order things for people after they ask, and not buy them before they pay. That way I use the money they pay me with rather than charging on my credit cards. I've dug a big ditch and I'm trying very desperately to get out of it.

I really gotta work my tail off to make this work and convince my wife I'm not crazy. I'm not doing such a good job on the latter =p
 
well make a black friday sale yourself with those stocks, count me in for that
i am still trying to pick up some good old PS2 games
mgs series / personas / gow / square enix games / suikoen / tales series etc
so if they are on sale at all with a steal price, just get it for me, but chances are i will be moderating amazon.com's deal though. not sure how i missed gow and gow2 deal :
 
Wtf, I have those Panasonic headphones, in white and black (my bro uses the black ones), got 'em from work for cheap... but is the green one special? If it is I'll just paint over my white ones (wait... why haven't I done this before?).
 
Okay sounds good Doctorofstyle. That puts us at 3/5 Skate 2's IF (and trust me with Target it's always a big IF) they follow up on that price. I'm hoping they do because they are now powered by Amazon.com and they're usually good about those things, but it may be Amazon's website template and Target's policies. We will find out soon enough I suppose :)

Limited Time offer Today Only: One of the best RPGs (and only RPGs) for the PS3: Eternal Sonata. Features additional features and content over the Xbox 360 version. $38 USD Shipped to Canada! Great price for a really great game :) Get yours now while they are available! Amazon's daily deals have been known to sell out fast and return to regular MSRP fast.
 
Goomba, do you mind sending me a faux-invoice, I just want to check all the item prices w/ shipping + service charge. Thanks in advance.
 
Sweet, if you got it for 12 then I'll definitely still take it! I can send $13 right away, unless it would be a problem to combine with P4? Let me know the charge, thanks!

Also, my little bro wanted little big planet for Christmas, but I'm worried if I got it on amazon, and then through you, if it would arrive on time for Christmas. Do you know how long it would take for that? Or should I just be safe and do the whole 'pay msrp' in stores?
 
You're welcome PuppetYuber :) I know that you and a few others were looking for a good deal on it. mberkes, yes I did get you a copy :) I have no problem combining it with your P4 order. Persona 4 should be in tomorrow I believe, so I'll let you know when it comes in how much it'll be to combine the two orders together.

Shouldn't take long :) Thanks!
 
Cool, send me the tab tomorrow and I'll send the payment. And don't worry about LBP or anything, I figure I'll go to TRU and take advantage of their 'buy 2 get 1' deal right now.
 
payment sent lmao, after conversion, it is like buying a brand new copy through retailer store

god damn amazon.ca doesn't carry it!

thanks anyways goomba
 
Sorry man. Unfortunately I have no control over the currency conversion :) I say you guys should all protest to make the CAD = USD again ^_^ That'll be the day =P
 
Okay I'm up again. I work today from 5PM - 2AM at the casino so I'm going to try and see if I can get the rest of the packages out. You'll receive Emails if your package has shipped :) If you ordered a Persona 4, they are SUPPOSED to come in today. We shall see ^_^
