Overstock site no longer mailing to Canada?

16 years ago

I hope this is the right forum for this money-saving question, but the prices there are exceptional!

A few years ago, 2003, I believe, they shipped internationally....does anyone know why they no longer do that?

I was SO disappointed when I saw that just now....

Thanks for any info you may have.....Lynn

Why not send them an email? If you want to order something, let me know . I'll get it and mail it to you. I have a Mailboxes store nearby and they will let me send packages to Canada. The exchange rate between US and Canada are exactly the same, at par. Let me know if I cam help you out.

My goodness, aren't you precious?!!!
They don't exactly have an email address that I could find, just one of those FAQ pages...but I'll look again.
And thank you SO MUCH for your offer!!

Our DD's fiance's parents will be spending the winter in Florida, and they said I could use their address for anything I wanted to purchase.
I hope they have room in their van on the way home for some of the things I'd want! LOL!
On the other hand, my DH and I will be in Detroit for the Lions/Packers game on your Thanksgiving, and OMG...we'll be shopping on your Black Friday!! How's THAT for a great birthday present from him this year?! ;-D Now I hope WE have room in our van for the things I want to purchase! hah!

Take care Jannie, and again...thanks for your very kind offer!! """"HUGS>>>>

Site with dollar a pack seeds?
Q
Comments (21)
I've ordered recently from several of the places mentioned above. I love T's and sampleseeds. Love love love! I bought some of T's daylily hybrids, and she sent me a free pack of daylily seeds that she probably thought I'd like, since one of the parents was in a few of the crosses I bought anyway (happy Halloween). Watersuntogether was okay. They took a long time to ship compared to other places I've bought seeds from, although I'm in no rush right now to get seeds. They also had some of their seeds out of stock and they refunded me for them, but it took a long time to hear from them about it. Also, the seeds were all from Burpee, which isn't a huge deal but I didn't really expect that- since I can get Burpee seeds from my local Menards for .50/pack at the end of the retail seed selling season.

Mail order plants - my experiences

Most of the things about mail order plants you have learned the hard way. Been there, done that!! In my area of Southern Ontario, I can find most plants that I want either at local nurseries or plant sales such as RBG or the Univ. of Guelph. The companies that I would recomend ordering by mail from, unfortunately no longer do mail order, e.g. Mason-Hogue north of Oshawa, The Perennial Garden in B.C. Another one, Whitehouse Perennials no longer sends regular plants by mail, but they still send hostas and daylilies. These nurseries sent well-grown, mostly potted plants in excellent condition, and very well packed. I was sceptical about ordering from as far away as B.C. but these too arrived in great shape. At present I cannot personally recommend a place to order regular perennials by mail in Canada. I have ordered from Gardenimport in Toronto several years, but it seems every year they were "out of" certain plants that I ordered, so gave me credit to use the following year. Also their prices are definitely on the higher side compared to the equivalent plant bought on site at a nursery or plant sale. If you live near Hamilton/Burlington or Guelph, some of the very best deals are to be found at the RBG Plant sales, 1st Thursday and Saturday in May, and the U. of Guelph Arboretum plant sale, generally the 2nd or 3rd Sat. in September. Great plants, great prices! RBG has a list of their sale plants available on their web site before the sales so one can peruse the list and decide what to buy. If you check the RBG website, I believe they also sell plants once or twice a week throughout the summer, as well as having a wrap-up discount sale in September. The U.of G. Arboretum has a printed catalogue available a couple of weeks before their sale for the same purpose. It usually costs about $3.

WANTED: Seed traders in Ottawa Canada

We'll probably need to keep the seedlings out of the restaurant (botulism makes restauranteurs nervous - go fig :). I'd save them for the seedling swap at the end of May/beg of June, but they need to be in the ground before then (I ended up very disappointed last year: I was in France when I should have been transplanting, popped them in the garden at the end of May and got a bumper crop ... of green tomatoes). I don't want to trod on any toes, though - please let me know if there are objections to this. If not, the easiest thing would probably be for anyone with/wanting seedlings to park in the covered parking by the library (sheltered, and usually empty/sparsely occupied), and we can hook up there after we're done at the restaurant. The idea isn't to preempt the experimental farm seedling swap - just to get the early stuff in the ground on mother nature's schedule :) Cheers, Sasha

Plant Mail Orders

Received my Cedar Hollow order of three roses on Friday. They were polestar, Dr. Merckley and what was supposed to be lambert Closse but instead was polareis. I must say that the customer service at Cedar Hollow is wonderful because I was not going to worry about it but was contacted by Cedar Hollow and asked if the right rose was sent out and if not they would send it out at no charge. Now I have to find a spot for lambert closse as I put the polareis in the spot that I had for it.

Hi Glitter. I don't know if you have an XS Cargo store near you but they carry a lot of the same things as Overstock in the US and guess what. I just checked a couple of items on Overstock (Cuisinart Grind'n Brew coffee maker) and the Hoover Floor Mate floor washer/vac and they're cheaper in Canada at XS Cargo than Overstock.com
BTW much of Overstock items are refurbished just like the stuff at XS Cargo in Canada
I paid $37 for the Grind & Brew at XS CArgo and it's $42 US on Overstock

Thank you, PKGUY...really appreciate your response.
Yes, we have an XS Cargo here, but unfortunately, I'm interested in more girly stuff....jewellry, purses, etc...Wish XSCargo considered those items as "cargo"! ;-D

As for bargains there, I got my MP3 player there before I 'upgraded'.....and some kitchen 'stuff' for our son's apartment....it's a great place to scope out now and then!

Thanks again PKGuy!

Some other (non-Overstock-like) Web merchants with which I'm familiar are no longer shipping to Canada because of problems with Canadian customs fees (for which the vendor is liable if they cannot be collected from the recipient). :-(
