The cure for: "we do not ship to Canada"
Lots of vendors ship their products to their customers in the lower 48 for free.
Some vendors do not ship to Canada at all.
What you need is a USA address with someone who will get it through customs and ship it on to you.
If you are in the West use these guys: Shipping – Alternative to Canada Post | Ship USPS from Canada | DYK Post
If you are in the East use these guys: CPXpress - Your US Shipping address
Now you can shop Ebay, Amazon.com and the lower 48 without event.
Get your stuff while saving hundreds on shipping and brokerage fees.
This is typical on Amazon...."This item does not ship to Melfort, Canada. Please check other sellers who may ship internationally. Learn more"
Or, if they do ship to Canada this is typical,
$279.99 + $153.27 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to Canada Details
I ordered a set of fender flairs for a truck off of Ebay.
They cost $119 US
Shipping to Canada was $125 US
An extra $31 CDN at the border for tax and duty (made in Singapore)
By the time the till quit ringing it was $351.00 CDN
I could have saved over a $100 CDN if I had used the above peoples service.
Example,

I live near Ogdensburg NY. (20 minutes from home to US customs)
I have goods shipped to the UPS Store in Ogdensburg. Then drive over and pick them up.
The UPS Store charges $5 for each package. Been doing it for 30 years. (It us to be Mailboxes etc)
 
That works well if you live near the border.
Over 80% of Canadians don't.
So, they need a reasonable service.
