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.

I'm sorry to bug you again, im just making sure you know to cancel the old direct request ( the one without my name)
 
Not to worry Nero25, my system will purge the ones without names ^_^ I'm almost to yours now. I have like 2 or 3 orders ahead of yours. So you will receive the invoice tonight with payment instructions. Thanks!
 
Hey goomba if you could find the gel version that would be great but you don't have to put so much effort into finding it :). If you can't find it then it's fine. I'll hold out till I make a trip down to the states with my parents in a month or two. Thanks for ordering the Cruzer! Just send me an invoice whenever :)

Thanks
ForbiddenX
 
Hi goomba,

Just thought I'd let you know that I emailed you about my address, as I believe you've sent two packages to my old address. All should be well, however, as I still have two months remaining on my address forwarding! :)

I emailed you my new address, I think updating it in your software may have gotten missed somewhere between all the PMs and emails I've sent to you! ;)
 
Hey Goomba, I know you're busy but I just wanted to check in to see if any progess has been made with the Rockman Dash Value Pack I wanted from Japan. :)
 
TronB, I wasn't able to find anywhere that would be cheaper for you than from Play-Asia and others unfortunately. eBay and other sites were about the same price and my source in Japan said it was basically the same price so for a new copy you probably wouldn't save much, if any. So for now probably just go the Play-Asia route I guess :( Sorry!
 
Nero, yes I did thanks :) I will have your order out on Monday probably. Nikmunjal, I'm going to send you an invoice before going to sleep now. THANKS!
 
By the way guys, if you get a moment make sure to follow our new Twitter Account made just for GamesForCanada.

kento951, you can still follow on the website and/or Twitter plugins / apps (like the one on iPhone). I never use the text messaging features or anything like that :) They also offer RSS feeds as well. Thanks!

neksus, I got all your 3 boxes of cereal now :) I will send you an invoice tomorrow hopefully (I have the morning off because it's my wife's birthday) and I don't work till 6PM or so. Thanks!
 
[quote name='goomba478']Nolberto I still have your copy here and was just waiting for payment. If you ate ready to pay now let me know :) Thanks![/QUOTE]

Hey Goomba. I'm ready to pay anytime...just lemme know via PM or here on what are the steps to pay you, via Paypal, your website, etc. I'm assuming your business works like any ebay buyer and use paypal..just e-mail me your paypal account with the total cost including shipping and I'll paypal you back. Thanks Goomba.
 
NolbertoS, send me your Full Name, Address and Email address to me via PM here on CAG. I will send you your invoice with all your payment instructions :) Thanks my friend!
 
maigoyume, the game came late on Friday so I didn't get time to go to the post office. I'll be mailing it out first thing tomorrow (actually packing today but there is no mail on Sunday). Thanks ^_^ You should get it soon. Appreciate your order!
 
doctorofstyle, your final HD-DVD (Hot Fuzz) came in this week and is shipping out tomorrow with your entire set. Thanks for your patience :) Hope you like the movies!
 
Hey there wtfrox, 2 Xbox 360 controllers weigh about 2.5 - 3.0 pounds to ship. So realistically it'll cost about $15 or $16 to ship to Toronto. Let me know if you'd be interested :) Thanks!
 
Goomba! Sorry for the late reply to your invoice. I have just sent off a payment to you for the latest order. :D Cheers! Did you ever have luck getting in that latest U2 LP?
 
Thanks CrushEm, no problem. I'll go ahead and order your LPs now :) No, Amazon still has not delivered the U2 one but they swear it's coming soon. It had to do with the manufacturing of the disc apparently.

I went downtown New Haven to Yale University and outside their campus was a nice record shop. They had the U2 LP but wanted almost $40 for it...yikes! So I think it's worth waiting rather than paying double :) I will let you know of course when they all get here, so no worries! Thanks again my friend ^_^

PS: You have great taste in music. Just thought I'd let you know that again.
 
Yes Nero, they are supposed to come in the mail today (waiting for UPS as we speak). They only give me a window saying between 10AM - 7PM so I'm not sure when they'll get here. They should be coming in today or tomorrow though and when they do you can be sure I'll ship them right out to you.

Just so you know, you will receive an Email letting you know when your item is in and when it has shipped, so no need to worry or ask for updates ^_^ I know this is your first order with me though, so that's cool. Thanks again!
 
heh, thanks for the compliment Goomba. Like I mentioned earlier, no rush on the LPs, I'm just crossing off my wish list as I go so whenever they're all ready, they're ready. :) I understand about the U2 LP thing, sometimes pressing problems like that happen unfortunately even nowadays. And for that shop to charge $40 for it is crazy, I like the $20 deal we found! haha Thanks for the quick reply.
 
When i read this topic, i think about that sort of things http://sourceradix.com/m/mon.html
You may check that, and most likely it would change your mind. Whatever.
 
a8i0qMs...I have no idea what your post has to do with anything. Is this a Spam attempt? I'm not interested in pharmaceutical drugs...thanks...
 
Hi Goomba,
I just sent the payment info for Oblivion for PS3.

I realize it came out awhile ago but I was surprised to find it was discontinued at my local ebgames. Especially when they still have the 360 version. Anyway thanks for doing the order, you saved me from ebay. :)
 
Hey Goomba..I hope you don't mind if I pay you next week, as that's when I'm getting paid. I still want the PS3 SFIV CE, but will wait for next week, my friend. Hope it won't affect your credit card statement. Thank you.
 
Goomba,

Bleach Dark Souls is 9.21 on Amazon.com, could you grab me a copy please? :)
I had some leftover credit from Boxing Day cancellations, don't remember how much tho. :/
 
stressgal, thanks for your fast payment! The price on Amazon went up $2.00 though. I emailed you about it, hope you got it.

NolbertoS, that's fine. I can wait another week. I should be alright with the credit card :) Thanks for your concern ^_^

Catboy, I will order you a copy. Anyone else interested?

Neksus, I sent the invoice out a couple of days ago. Is your Email correct that you gave me? Maybe it went to your junk mail? That's odd. Let me try to resend it now to you.
 
Hey Goomba do you know anywhere that has the tales of vesperia guide for a decent price. I am planning on playing through the game a second time and want to get everything but dont want to spend more on the guide than about $20USD.
 
Sorry guys, I was restoring my Windows today to a new profile so I had to reinstall a bunch of programs, including Firefox/Outlook/etc. but I'm back.

Fanboy, your TNA DVD sets came in and as I imagined are rather heavy (7+ pounds). So tomorrow I will try to figure out the best way to box them for you and will send you an invoice in the next day or two. Thanks!

Nero25
, your items are in and are shipping out tomorrow :)
 
Hey Goomba, just for future reference (there are certain games I'm waiting for on sale)... Could I get a quote it would be on shipping of any xbox/wii/ps3 sized game to BC?

I kind of scanned the website, but are you suggesting that it is a flat shipping rate to Canada? (It may have been mentioned, but I already read the post and can't recall if it's been said)
 
RoganSarine,

I do offer flat rate shipping for most items (it's based on weight still). An average game weighs between 5-7 ounces and costs $3.00 in shipping costs. I charge $2.00 service for the first game/item and $1.00 for each additional item.

So for estimates sake, most sites that offer free shipping on games (Amazon, and others) just add $5.00 USD to the total and 99% of the time that'll be the price due for a single game. If you have any other questions just ask. The site is really not updated (I'm working on it though!). I have too many side projects ;)
 
Alright well I'll keep it in mind. Canada deals are very poor these days (unless you know some underground stores and it's boxing day :p) along with my pocket, so I'll keep my eye out for american deals that are always great.

Wish I could help with the site though... I find that stuff fun.
 
Thanks Rogan,

I appreciate it. I like doing web stuff too :) but with all my jobs, work and all it gets in the way. Honestly the only thing keeping me lagged behind are my money issues, so with each and every purchase you guys help me get out of debt and one step closer to financial freedom and full-time web work ^_^
 
[quote name='goomba478']killmak, not sure if you like online guides or not but here is a good walkthrough:

http://guides.ign.com/guides/14225689/

If you want the physical guide, I can get it for you but it'd probably be a little more than $20 honestly due to shipping. Let me know. Thanks! I believe this one is out of print and therefore pricey.[/quote]
The Brady guide is out of print for a reason:

Lol at sellers charging $150 for it there :roll:
