Mail forwarding to Canada? (or 4-40 screws in Canada)

colin · 09-29-2009, 10:58 PM

Everyone knows that shipping stuff to Canada sucks. If anyone has ever ordered from McMaster-Carr, you'll notice that the prices are great, but the shipping is refused! Is there anybody who would be interested in receiving and forwarding a package to Canada for me?

PM me if you're down

It's just a hundred or so black screws that I can't find anywhere else.

Alternatively, if you know where to get #4-40 1/2" socket cap flat head black screws in Canada, please let me know! That means they are size 4, 40 threads per inch, have an allen key to turn them, a flat head, are BLACK, and 1/2" in length.

You mean Crappy Tire doesn't have everything?!

Yeah,

Imagine how shocked I was!

I don't know where exactly you are in Canada but you can try Spaenaur, they have a distribution center in Kitchener and also any Kinecor store (industrial supplies) can have that for you. Also, you might want to try your local bolt distributor/industrial material supplier.

I just got a shipment from McMaster-Carr through a guy I know pretty well in the USA. I had everything shipped to him and he repackaged it and shipped it back up to me. He may or may not do it for you without knowing you well but if you like I can ask him. Just let me know how much the total shipment would be.

I actually live right outside of Kitchener for school. I'll look into it.

Thanks. I may have found a supplier in the meantime.
