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.

emjaymj, in your case you have used up your Service credits and actually I believe you have exhausted your shipping funds as well. Do you want me to ship out your items and bill you afterwards (something I don't normally do but I know you're good for it and you've waited long enough). Let me know please. I will be doing extensive GYROS updates tomorrow and the next day after the doctor's visit.

Also, yes I was thinking of something with queried order status. I know dv8mad is doing something similar with his site and it's acually a great thing. I may end up doing this after this weekend if I'm still behind on orders, but hopefully I'll catch up a lot by then. But yeah, it's definitely the top requested feature for the site and I'm weighing my options :).

Please go ahead :) I'll be topping my account up with plenty of credits to spare VERY shortly regardless - just waiting for a huge refund to my paypal account.

I had actually figured initially that I MUST have run out, but I guess you processed my orders (and consequently updated my balances) in a different sequence than I had placed them, so when you gave me my balance after the clippers orders, I just assumed everything placed before then had been taken into account... which obviously doesn't seem to be the case. Sorry about that, but thanks a ton!

As for the 2nd woot.com package that I had asked you leave sealed... I believe it is about 17 pounds (according to FEDEX) and you SHOULD have it by now. I didn't pay shipping for that... but do NOT send that out just yet. I need to discuss it with you when you have time. A very brief discussion, but I believe it's something that needs to be done in real-time. So I suppose I may have to wait a bit on this one, but let me know when you're free to set up a chat or something...

I should re-iterate though that the FIRST woot.com package you received, weighing in at 3.1lbs, is simply the MST3K DVDs, and you can go ahead and open it, pack it, and send it with the rest of that order (#1461112552) which included an Amazon package containing a Conchords set and... the towel :lol:

Airtrack, I don't know if you received my message or not but there was shipping due for your girlfriend's item which is why it hadn't shipped (it appeared in the red area of the GYROS with the "Additional Shipping $ required" listed. I've gone ahead and re-sent the invoice for additional shipping, but if I don't hear back from you by tomorrow I will add it to the new Google Checkout page.

So far the Google Checkout page has been very successful and I'm considering to move all orders to there. I just learned that they let you have several spreadsheets in a single form, which lets you have a drop down list for "Unpaid Orders / Paid Orders" etc. which would in a way substitute what I have going with the GYROS page. I'll still keep GYROS but for people looking for an exact amount owed and a way to pay the money due, it works rather nicely. Once an item is paid for it becomes "Out of Stock" on the page and will go to the archive of "Paid Items" the following day.

More info on this soon. Thanks!
 
Okay I'm off to bed now as I have to get up early for tomorrow's trek across the state to the doctors. Quick update:

The reason I don't currently have a live database showing you guys the same info that I receive for orders is that I don't want to give out too much of your personal information on the site. If I were to show you streaming order updates with user names and all that there's a slight chance that I would get someone mad by displaying who was ordering what. There's also the possibility that someone's personal information (address, phone number, etc.) would be visible if I went to an open system which I don't want to do.

GYROS was meant to be an inbetween sort of solution. Let you guys know where things are and tell you if money was due or when items shipped. Lately though with a LOT of the new customers using my automated DR and PF systems they underestimate shipping or don't pay enough to cover shipping from the stores (many stores charge shipping to the USA) which means I have more red/unpaid items on GYROS than I do paid items at times. This isn't good.

The new Google Checkout page is going to be a major help in this regard. It shows you what orders and items are owed money on, but doesn't display any personal information about the user buying them. Once they check out then I will receive an Email and notice of the payment along and the item immediately goes to "Out of Stock" on the site meaning it's been processed. It also gives a visual view of all items since they all have pictures next to them (good for quick browsing).

I will spend the weekend modifying GYROS to incorporate the new GCO system and if I'm too behind by the end of the week I will consider shutting down the DR page for new orders until we catch up. I want to make the system easy for existing and new customers alike, but not at the expense of losing all customers. I understand it's not fun ordering an item and not knowing where it is in the process, so please feel free to offer suggestions. I never blame you for trying to help us improve :)

We appreciate your support and will do our best to get your orders done as soon as we can. If we don't respond to your Emails in time please note we process them in the order we get them in, and lately there has just been SO many of them and so many things going on. I am considering taking 2 days off of work this week to further process new orders. I will talk to you guys soon, I have to get some sleep :).
 
When you wake up, please shoot me a PM or email or post here letting me know when and how we can have a very brief talk on what to do with the gigantic Woot mystery package, IF you're able to know when you can fit it in at this point. I'd rather at least make an appointment of sorts then have you kind of gloss the notion over right now and just end up forgetting about it altogether.

Because it's a rather important talk to have... and ignore my previous instructions/ideas on how to deal with it, I think I can simplify it, but it's just incredibly difficult to get such a large package through customs without actually knowing what it even is, so I think you'll agree that the initial instructions of shipping it still sealed just isn't going to work. And there's actually a bit more to it I need to talk to you about.

So I know you're insanely busy, but hopefully in the next day or two you can set aside maybe 5 minutes to chat or something about this? With your huuuge backlog of emails, carrying out even a very short back-and-forth discussion would literally take weeks, take up a LOT MORE of your time catching up on the discussion every single time, and hopefully we both agree that getting the package out before then is ideal.

So... please let me know what's convenient for you. It's my issue and I know you're unbelievably busy, so the way I see it, it's best that you choose what's most convenient and if anyone's schedule needs to be disrupted it'll be mine.
 
emjaymj, I won't forget about your big Woot Package. I just haven't received it yet. I'll be going on Friday again to pick up the next batch of UPS packages (if you shipped it there and not to my home address) but I didn't receive anything but the initial one. As for shipping without opening the package, I can probably get away with that for smaller items but honestly big items (as you said) may be tricky. I'll be out of town all day today though and will be returning around 7PM but I have to go straight to sleep as I work at 2:00 AM Wednesday. I'll be home all day Wednesday though and am staying home from work all day Thursday, so we can try to talk it over then.

I will try to open up a GFC Chat room session sometime in the afternoon Wednesday and Thursday so we can get a lot of things worked out :) Thanks.

Sounds good :) I guess FedEx was wrong then, but it's via SmartPost so it's no surprise lol

But yeah, it's shipped to your home address, not UPS.
 
Which I still haven't officially heard if you're okay with that, but after doing it by accident, I figured it would make things easier for you (unless, I suppose, you sort the DR/PF packages ahead of time according to where they were sent to.)

I guess it also has the added bonus for ME to get my packages received up to a week earlier :lol: but it's not really about that. If it's actually an INCONVENIENCE for you, or somehow trips up you or your system in any way, or hell, you just plain don't want me doing it for even the most irrational of reasons, I'll go back to using the UPS address. If I didn't already have both addresses, it would be a no-brainer, I understand for the most part WHY you use the UPS box, but since I have it anyways, it would be good to hear from you which you actually prefer... I don't want to overstep my bounds.
 
Good news emjaymj, I went to the USPS Post Office today and they had a package waiting for me...turns out it was your Woot Package. It's quite big and heavy as you estimated but I didn't open it or anything. Yeah, the reason I use UPS is that they will sign for any package for me and hold it until I pick it up. With USPS if I don't pick it up within a certain time frame they ship it back to the company which sucks.

I'm going to sleep now and working until 10AM tomorrow morning but I'll be on in the afternoon tomorrow and all day Thursday so we can work something out in regards to your items. Talk to you soon. Thanks!

Oh and by the way everyone, we just went to get our first ultrasound of the baby. Turns out it was a bit early (we're 10.5 weeks along and not the 12 they thought we were, so we'll have to go again next week). We did, however, see the baby though which was really an awesome experience =) I'm going to scan the photos later hehe.

Nice, can't wait to see the photos :)

And as far as delivering to your home or UPS, I figured you preferred the former as that's what you appear to do with your DR's, so I figured it was a safe assumption.

I'm not exactly sure if that response actually answers the question... :lol: It contains an explanation which MAYBE was supposed to tell me to use UPS, but I really can't tell if that was your intention... so make it clear for me... final answer! :) Do you a) want me to ship to your UPS box or is it okay if b) I just ship it directly to your home address? :lol:
 
emjaymj, sorry ... in the future please ONLY use my UPS account especially since I am moving in a month to a new place. Thanks ^_^. I will work out something tomorrow for shipping the items with you. I work until 10AM this morning though and will try to come on in the late afternoon/evening tomorrow. I'll post a link to the GFC chat room when I'm available =) Thanks.
 
Hi yes I was aware of the missing shipping quite awhile ago as I was just waiting for the invoice. Anyway I sent the amount owed by paypal yesterday thanks.

Oh right I forgot about that :)

Okay then!
 
Okay Goomba, I placed another big order - #1066854087. I have no idea of the shipping so I made what I believe to be a highball estimate at 10 pounds.

So I included the $35.50 (and an extra 50 cents = $36) for shipping, and $76 just as a bulk purchase of service charge credits (with the 25% bonus that works out to $95) for a total of $368.

Also, please apply any money not used for the shipping of THIS order towards the shipping of other orders.

Also also, this is one of those orders where REALLY hope you can process immediately (or as soon as otherwise possible). And also also also... make sure to read the general comments I left on the order page... very important! :)

Thanks
 
Guys I'm going to do my best to be on between 8:00 - 8:30 PM tonight in a live GFC Chat room while I process orders. I'm up till 2AM today, staying home ALL DAY tomorrow to do orders and most of Friday too. I'm going to blast through all my Email questions and status updates and try to get as many of the orders with funds due listed on the Google Checkout page. Also, it should go without saying I'll ship out as many items as I can during this period of time as well.

That last week was nutso but things are looking up :) Keep you posted and I will list in here when the chat room is open along with a link. Thanks guys!
 
emjaymj, not sure where you are but I'm in the chat room :) I'll keep it open for quite some time. I'm packing and processing GYROS updates while having it on my second monitor. Cya soon.
 
** GFC Chat Room Closed **

It was nice talking to you guys tonight. I will be staying home all day tomorrow doing GFC orders and will have the new GYROS setup done by Saturday night, so stay tuned. In the meantime I'm going to pack items, place orders and will gradually answer all Emails. Thanks for your support!
 
** GFC GYROS UPDATE (In Progress) **

Okay so here's the deal guys. As mentioned earlier in the week, I am going to a GCO (Google Checkout) / Paypal payment system that should further automate our system. Here it is in a nutshell:

1) When you put in a Direct Request, you can pay in full on the site using the Paypal checkout (includes all service charges, shipping, fees, etc.).

2) Your item will be ordered by us and your order will be added to GYROS within the next 1-2 days (on average). If your item is out of stock we will refund you or ask you if you'd like to keep the credit on file for a different order.

3) If your item requires additional funds for purchasing or shipping costs, we will add your item to the red section of the GYROS page with a little cash register icon next to it that looks like this: Clicking this link will bring you to our Google Checkout page that will have a list of all items with payments due, the order numbers (both our internal Quickbooks reference number and the DR reference number) and a brief description of your item. There will be a price listed and an "Add to Cart" button. If you have multiple items with payments due, you can add them simultaneously and check out at one time, or pay separately. The link for this page if you want to check it out is: http://www.gamesforcanada.com/gfc-payments-due.php .

4) Once your items are received and no additional funds are due, we will ship your items out to you ASAP. The estimated time for these shipments are listed when you check out on the initial Direct Request page (right now 4-7 days) but we will strive for next day shipment for all orders that are properly paid in full.

This system will make it a lot more fair for those of you who have been around with GFC for a while and understand our system. It'll also speed things up by filtering out the items with payments due. Finally, doing this will clear up a lot of the Emails and questions for people asking remaining balances and the Google Checkout page will alleviate manual invoicing. Win/Win!

If for some reason you are unable to pay with Google Checkout then please let me know and we can still invoice you traditionally with a link to our Paypal account.

Thanks again guys. As promised I'm staying home from work tomorrow all day to catch up on existing orders and I hope to have GYROS 100% up to date with this new system as of Saturday night. Thanks for your support! You mean the world to me and I will stop at nothing until you're all happy with our ordering system and service =).
 
Goomba,

I had asked you last week if you could please send me an invoice for the one game you have for me, as I probably won't be buying much for a few months, so I'd rather have it and not forget about it, lol

I know you're busy, so I figured I'd give you some time, but you may have missed my message.

Thanks =)
 
Goomba,
On the last page, I asked you about an order I placed on a book. The short of it was, I attempted to order it and pay using amazon codes but the price jumped up $1.50 at the end so if you're okay with it, I'll have that extra in a bit. Since you didn't acknowledge it when you last posted, I just guessed I placed the order incorrectly so I tried again so now I have 2 orders which are exactly the same.

As you can guess, I only want 1 of those orders to go through (1313141973) or (2035433949). So could you cancel one of them and tell me if you're okay with processing the order now? It's just that this book is hard to find and is sold out in basically all of North America so I just don't want this to slip away. (If I can't get this now, the next option is paying $75-$200 for it... Yea outrageous isn't it?)

So yea, if you could just give me some feedback or tell me what next, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks~
 
Hey Goomba,

I just checked the Touchstone Charger and Vehicle Charger bundle on Verizon and the price has been further reduced by half to $9.99. I guess that's the upside to having my order delayed. Did you order it at the new price or how do you handle price protection? Please let me know.

Thank you.
 
hi goomba, i want a samsung hard drive from newegg.com but the deal expires tomorrow at midnight. i am sending a direct request now... i hope you can place the order sometime today or tomorrow before the deal is dead! :)
 
Okay guys just letting you know I've packed about 20 items so far today and moving along with great speed :) I will continue to update GYROS, go to the post office at 4:00, come home and process all new DR's and continue packing. Tomorrow I am getting up at 7 AM, going to the UPS store to pick up more packages and processing more orders. We are moving along well.

I will contact you individually about your questions above but for the next 20 minutes my priority will be on shipping out items. Talk to you guys soon!
 
Hoping to hear from you soon re: that turntable I sent in the direct request for. Did it go though?

Still working at the Casino?
 
That was the one Goomba. Payment has been sent. (Along with a little extra like always)

Thanks again.
 
gsrce, I sent an invoice for NSMB. If that wasn't the right one let me know. Thanks! I must have missed your last message because I couldn't locate it anywhere!

Spino, no worries about duplicate entries or submissions. I delete all duplicates and just keep the ones that match up with payments. So if you sent payment for order #XXXXX and had an order #YYYYY, I'd only keep the #XXXXX one on file if that makes sense. Also, I've gone ahead and ordered your item so we can figure out the remaining balance later. No problem!

ironchefff, I already had Verizon resend it so unfortunately we won't get the discount price (the only way they'll price match online orders is to mail it back to them and replace the orders, which in this case would cost more than the discount so yeah...). I should have it any day now though and will let you know. I'm going to my UPS store tomorrow morning again.

preelude, I put in the order for your harddrive. There is a remaining shipping balance due which is listed on GYROS. Thanks!

Jest, I am not seeing the turntable direct request. What was the order number and did you pay through the website? Please let me know so I can look that up for you. As for the casino, yes I got promoted to part time poker dealer now (working on grave shift now which is really difficult and confusing but more rewarding so far). I'll keep you guys updated on my crazy casino adventures soon enough ^_^. Thanks again.

I'm off to bed now guys. Have to get up in 6 hours to do it all over again. Tomorrow will be another GFC day! Lots to do! I am slowly righting the wrongs of the website, including a fixed bug that caused some people's shipping estimates to show as $0.00. Should be working now!
 
thanks gsrce! If I could hug you through the monitor I would. I know it's not easy putting up with my confusion and slowness these last few weeks. I'm nearly there and out of my rut! My lawyer tells me we should have our bankruptcy finished this month (YEAH!) and the majority of doctor's tests will be over by September as well. We also have the move to the new place next month but at least we'll have 2+ months for that :) Things are quickly turning around for us. We're just so happy to have such supportive friends and customers. We'll do our best to satisfy everyone with our services again so there is no doubt about our dedications to you all. ^_^. G'night!
 
Goomba! Long time no see. Quick question. I have a request for a couple shirts but I have no idea what would be an appropriate weight for it. Would 2 pounds be appropriate? Looking on amazon (not the site I'll be ordering from) they list the shipping weight of a t-shirt as 1 lb.
 
Hey CrushEm! Yes 2 pounds should definitely cover them. I typically ship T-shirts in bubble mailers so they should be slightly less than one pound shipped. Feel free to put 2 pounds and if it's off I'll let you know when I have them in person. Thanks again for your support :) I'm going to bed now but I'll process all orders tomorrow as they come in. I'm 100% caught up on placing orders that were paid for. Now I'm just going to keep packing and shipping orders as they come in so we can catch up :). Cya soon!

Okay I'll send it through again. I never sent payment, just wanted to get an accurate quote on shipping charges. I think the price went up like $10 since last I checked though lol. Still quite a bit cheaper than buying it for $120 + tax locally.
Order Number: 1230260402

Sorry to hear you are still working those shitty shifts. Hang in there bud.
 
Oh okay that'd be why. All invoices without payment are sent to an "Estimates Only" folder in our inbox for reference, but are not processed in any way. Yes please resend the invoice with payment and we'll get right on that for you.

As for grave shift, it's not a bad shift really...it's slower in the poker room but the money is about the same (if not better) for the hours I work. It's just that sleeping during the daytime is confusing and with a pregnant wife and busy family life it often means broken sleep and on-and-off sleep :) But I'm making it through so far. Things will work out ^_^. Thanks again.
 
Actually, I sent it though again without payment. Check that 'estimates' folder ;) I was actually just hoping for an estimate. I just bought a stack of new records but have nothing to play them on :O Might just go local since I get it much faster. I know, that isn't very CAG-like but I like to have things now rather than not now.
 
Hey there,

I was about to place an order for 2 sets of headphones. I put all the details in and was given an estimate of $181. When I went to pay for the order, the price shot up to $189, with the GFC service charge doubling. Is there any reason for this, or is it a glitch?
 
DMPugh, on the second page it includes Paypal fees into the mix. If you want to avoid these fees, you can order the item yourself with our Package Forwarding options. Feel free to Email me at [email protected] for full instructions. Thanks!

Could we also avoid those fees by different payment options (ie. Amazon Codes, w/e else you would take) ?
 
Spino, yes you can always use Amazon Codes (up to $200 a month per user at this time). That's about it right now unless you want to mail me a USD Money Order but honestly those aren't very convenient for anyone these days. We're working on other payment methods as well but most do have fees.

RoganSarine, yes I did thanks =)
 
I am off to work now guys (2AM-10AM today) and it's also my 7th wedding anniversary today, so it should be pretty busy for me. I'll be coming home this afternoon and working on some GFC packing but also completing my package for my lawyer. Busy, busy, busy! Lots of things are getting done though and I just picked up a bunch of new packages from the UPS store today. I will update GYROS tomorrow in the evening. Thanks again and keep in touch.
 
Also, I was wondering... Does anyone have any good watch recommendations? I am unsure whether I want a sports watch, or a dress watch, or an edgy middle ground... But I definitely want it to be atomic -- and most canadian stores are grossly overpriced for atomic watches.

Edit: As much as I'd like all the interesting gadgets on a sports watch, I've decided I probably want something that looks at least relatively formal without breaking my bank. I got about $200 to spare.

Not sure whether it's atomic or not, but I have a Citizen Eco-Drive and it has served me well for the last 6 years. It looks dressy and it's solar powered though. When I bought it, it was supposed to be around 150 - 175 but because I bought it at a Black Friday sale in San Fran, I got it pretty much for $100. I would think regular price now might be $100 - 125.
 
Good news, things are moving quickly with my couple of personal issues =) The better things get here the smoother things in GFC-land will run. I'm staying home today and tomorrow to do all sorts of things. I'm going to have a lot of items shipped out today and tomorrow as well. I will update GYROS a bit tonight and a lot tomorrow ^_^ THANKS.
 
looks like 9 of the books for the package forwarded order showed up at the end of july and the last one showed up on the 6th, also why does package show up in red in this thread?

You must have done a search for the word package or something...
 
As retarded as this question might be, I have to ask:

Do you ship totally non-gaming items to Canada?

I really want to get Yoo-hoo, but they don't sell it in Toronto. :(

He's usually fine with anything, and Amazon.com sells it, so I'm sure it would arrive packed well. The big problem will be the shipping cost. All of those glass bottles will add up in cost. It would almost be cheaper to drive across the border and pick some up at a Costco.


In other news, just submitted a package forwarding order to you Goomba. So much for me not buying anything again for a few months, lol

Couldn't pass up on the deal, the price just keeps dropping and dropping, have no excuse not to buy them at that cost =)

(Amazon.com keeps dropping the price on the brand new Squenix PS1 games, picked up Chrono Cross for $9.99 and FFIX for $12.78. Most other PS1 Squenix titles are sub $15 as well)
