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.

Constellation, PM Sent =) Thanks!

Oh and I just want to thank all of you guys again for your support. This forum post now has almost 18,000 views...that's just insane ^_^ Keep up the good work and keep the orders coming. Lots of gaming goodness to be had by all!
 
retisentry,

I went ahead and ordered you a copy of Ar tonelico and the Shinobi Blu Ray as well.

The feedback system is really easy. Just click on the little number next to my itrader score (should be 42 at the moment) ... then look for where it says "Leave Feedback for this user" or whatever in yellow writing. Couldn't be easier :)

I'll send you an invoice for the two items pretty soon. Thanks!
 
Hey Goomba,

I was wondering if you had anymore Xbox Live card codes left, as I'm interested in purchasing one.

Just wondering, if PayPal funds are funded by a debit card, does the 3% surcharge come into effect, or is that only for funds funded by a Credit Card?
 
projectkuro, I do have have Xbox Live codes coming in next week (probably around Wednesday) so if you'd like me to keep one on the side for you I will :) I ordered approximately 10 total and about half are accounted for. I just didn't want to miss the sale like I did last time.

As for Debit Cards, Paypal treats them the same way as Credit Cards. Also, on top of the credit card fee, Paypal now charges an across-the-border-fee as well so to accept Canadian Credit cards it costs me an extra 5-6% which is why I try to stay away from it when possible.

xezekielx, I will resend your invoice. Maybe it didn't go through the first time :) brb.
 
[quote name='goomba478']xezekielx, I will resend your invoice. Maybe it didn't go through the first time :) brb.[/quote]

Just sent you the monies!
 
I'm also interested in purchasing an Xbox Live code, but currently do not have a PayPal account. Is there any other method of payment you would accept, cheque perhaps? If PayPal works best for you I can see if I can commandeer my sisters' account! Thanks goomba!
 
game_fanatic, I do accept Money Orders (as long as they are in US Dollars). Paypal is obviously the easiest as it's instant but I have nothing against Money Orders. Again, just be sure they are in US dollars because my bank will not take foreign currency at this time. Thanks!
 
Icetron I'll get back to you soon about the Memory Sticks :) I am working 6/7 days this week at my job so I just haven't had a chance to check out local stores. I wanted to see what Gamestop sells them for. Get back to you soon! Thanks.

No problem man, I'll be waiting. Thanks. :lol:
 
I don't think he can guarantee Izuna 2 posters. It says on the listing "Offer good while supplies last". Plus there won't necessarily be any way to tell it has the poster beyond opening the game and checking the contents, it's supposed to be packed in with the instructions. It's still nearly a month till it's release, so chances are good all the orders for the next couple weeks will come with it.

Oh, also. If you aren't in it for the pervy poster, Gamestop is supposed to have exclusive posters too. But they're just standard fare...

Oh Goomba, you still haven't sent me any invoices :bouncy: I'll probably order more random stuff in the next month (I hope ^_^), but it doesn't make a difference when I pay. It'll all show up on next months credit card bill, so you may as well have monies now ;)
 
Awesome guys, thanks for letting me in on the deals :) I just woke up right now (last night they kept me overtime at the casino). Anyone here interested in any of these deals of the day from Amazon? I'm going to order a few copies of Brawl because that's ridiculously cheap for that game.

=JJ=
 
As for Izuna 2, I can't guarantee you'll get the Amazon bonus pre-order poster. I'm not sure if they limit it to one per user (I couldn't find anywhere that says they do) but it does say while supplies last. I'll order a couple anyway and hopefully we'll luck out =)

Anyone want a cheap copy of Brawl? Ragnar I'm going to go send your invoice now ^_^
 
Hi Goomba, I just realized myself that Ar Tornelico was back on Rosenqueen. Please get me a copy before it's out of stock O_O For 28.99, I'm all in.

Thanks! Tell me how it's gonna work, it's my first time :)
 
You got it ichit4k4_set0,

I'll make sure to get you a copy. Please do me a favor and PM me the following information so I can set you up as a new customer in my business software:

1) Your Full Name
2) Your Mailing Address
3) Your Email Address (and Paypal Address if it's different than your main one)
4) Your Telephone Number (in case I ever have to reach you, rarely use) [optional]
5) How you wish to Pay: Paypal (funds in account), Paypal (Credit Card) or Money Order

Thanks ^_^
 
Hello Goomba,

Do you have any more Xbox Live codes? I can pay by PayPal ( Credit Card PayPal so there would be additional charges). My Live account expires in a week and it wold be great if I could save a few dollars.

Thank you,

Chris
 
Yes I am getting more Xbox codes by the end of this week. Thanks :) Please pm me your name, address and email (and Paypal email if different). I'll send you an invoice tomorrow. Thanks!
 
hey goomba! Well I opened up my own PayPal account tonight, so I'm in the process of figuring out all that jazz...hopefully you'll have some Live cards left by the time I can send you some money!
 
About the Izuna 2 posters, here's the official word from Atlus (nothing on Canadian preorders though)

long story short: it SHOULDN'T be a problem for Goomba to get posters for everyone. the posters are IN the case.

Reversible cover art: No matter where or when you buy the game, whether or not you pre-order it, you’ll be getting one of two images printed on the flipside of the DS insert. Both images are inserted completely at random, and neither one is any more rare than the other.

Exclusive Poster (Gamestop): On top of the reversible cover art, if you reserve your copy at Gamestop, you’re guaranteed your very own poster of Izuna: the fully clothed one. The poster is printed on a higher quality paper stock and will be inserted into the case itself, not handed to you by the Gamestop employee when you pick it up. This poster is ONLY available at Gamestop stores and quantity is limited. While there may be some left after the pre-orders are filled, don’t count on it.

Exclusive Poster (Amazon): On top of the reversible cover art, if you reserve your copy at Amazon.com, you’re guaranteed your very own poster of Izuna: the not-so-clothed one. The poster is printed on a higher quality paper stock and will be inserted into the case itself, not packaged separately in the box you receive it in. This poster is ONLY available through Amazon.com and quantity is limited. While there may be some left after the pre-orders are filled, don’t count on it.
 
JeffX, thanks for that Izuna 2 info. Very good to know! I appreciate that ^_^ I have a feeling a lot of gamers will be wanting to go for the Amazon poster...just call it a hunch =P
 
game_fanatic, Glad to see you have opened a Paypal account! That's going to make it a lot easier to send money back and forth for your share of the gaming goodness. Looking forward to doing business with you.

For those of you interested in Xbox Live cards, I only have one left now....but I'm planning to order more since there was such a big interest in the first round. Be sure to tell your friends about my service :) Help me, help them, help me =) Thanks guys!
 
Good news Magiic...your brand new copy of Valkyrie Profile came in. I asked Game Quest Direct not to put any stickers on it and surprisingly they were actually able to despite their customer service saying that the item may have been too far along in the shipping process. So now you have a perfect copy :) Mailing out first thing in the morning on Tuesday. Thanks again!
 
Anyone here interested in an 8GB SanDisk Cruzer? Buy.com has them on sale for $30 this week for the 4th of July sale. That's incredibly cheap for a namebrand 8GB Flash drive if you ask me. I could probably ship it to you for around $36 shipped. Let me know if you're interested :) Thanks guys!

The model if you are curious is:
SanDisk 8GB Cruzer Micro U3 USB2.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ6-8192-A11
 
I have found PSP memory sticks for cheap on eBay and other sites, but as I've told others I have a strong feeling that they are knock-offs or cloned cards (not officially licensed ones). From what I hear from people that have bought them, they work just as good in most cases (sometimes better) but they more than likely are not official Sony brand no matter how much the eBay sellers insist they are. If you find an auction on eBay or elsewhere let me know and I'd be happy to help you order it :)

Okay good to know Firestorm :) I guess I'm just behind on technology products...I'm getting one for myself though. Can't beat that. Be great for moving videos from my computer to my PS3/Xbox 360 and such. A lot better than burning DVD-RW's and such. Thanks for filling me in ^_^
 
Hey some of you Canadian CAGers should go to amazon.com. Dark Sector 360 is 19.99 only for Today and Turok 360 is 23.99 now. I wouldn't pass it up. Maybe somebody should make a list of amazon.com games here in the Canadian site, so you guys are aware of what cheap game are currently on sale.
 
Hey Goomba , I have a question . Supposedly I order 10 games how would it be cheaper to ship it for me : all individually via media mail or just put it in a box ?
PS: Currently I'm looking for a summer job so by the end of the summer hopefully I'll do some business with you.
 
Turgore, are you asking about mailing to Canada or having the initial shipment mailed to me? Please specify :) I do not believe there is a Media Mail option up to Canada, which is why I ask. Thanks!
 
$72 shipped CatBoy :) Let me know if you're interested. If so send me all your info (name, email, address, etc.) and I'll send you an invoice. Thanks again! I'm going to work now but feel free to send me your info via PM and I'll order them for you first thing when I get back. Most third parties are alright on Amazon.com. This one ships directly from Amazon so it's definitely trustworthy. I have free 2 day shipping to my house from them, but this is a holiday weekend so I'd likely get them in on Monday :)

Thanks!

yeah ...supposedly you get the games separately and you mail them to me.
Oh and that sucks with no media mail to canada
oh well...
 
Ammowasted, no it hasn't. A lot of eBay shippers (not me) are pretty slow shipping items unfortunately but I'll definitely let you know when it arrives and I'll ship it out usually the same day I receive it.

Turgore, most of the time first class mail is cheapest for sending multiple games. I believe I can ship up to 4 pounds worth of games in first class. Anything more than that and I have to ship with Priority (which is slightly faster but usually more expensive). If the box is really heavy then I can use flat rate shipping. I always ship with the cheapest option for you, so don't worry :) I'll do that part.

I haven't received the invoice yet Goomba. Has the order been made? The price jumped up to $42 today.

Thanks a lot! :)
 
CatBoy I just haven't gotten around to it :) I had to work 9PM - 5AM last night and 10PM - 6AM tonight so my sleep was just all messed up. I'll go send your invoice now ^_^

Oh and I was able to order it before the price increase so not to worry. Amazon already shipped them to me actually :) So I should get them by Monday. Let me go send you the invoice. Thanks!
 
Excellent News Everyone!: The Ar Tonelico games are in! The soundtracks were shipped in separate little CD sleeves like mentioned on the website and the games are all factory sealed beautifully. I would mail them out tomorrow but tomorrow is the 4th of July in the US, so I will pack tomorrow and ship out on Saturday. Thanks to everyone who put in orders :) You're very close now!

As for the Xbox Live codes, I have the tracking information and it looks like they will be delivered on Saturday as well. Again, the 4th of July messed up all the mail this week so I apologize. If you need a 48 hour code to hold you over until the cards come in just let me know and I should be able to get one for you :)

Sincerely,
JJ Parks ^_^
 
Goomba,

I'm thinking of buying an NTSC-J xbox 360. Is Play-Asia the only option? Is shipping in the U.S. cheaper than to Canada? As I believe shipping a console from Play-Asia to Canada is $75-$100. If you know of any other sources I'd love to hear about them!

Thanks!
 
Alrighty, goomba! Just an update, I managed to transfer some funds from my bank account to my PayPal account (why haven't I done this earlier??) so I should have access to the funds in about a week or so...is it possible to hold onto a 13-month Xbox Live code for me? I would be forever grateful!
 
Good news. I have received the shipment of Xbox Live Codes :) When I get home in two hours I will begin mailing them out to people who have already paid. For those of you who haven't paid, I have about 3 left and am ordering another 10 for next week. Thanks everyone!

Lockescythe, when I get home I'll send you out an invoice =) Thanks!
