ARGH!

The Teddog is in a bit of a jam here.

I LOVE Space Ghost Coast to Coast. It's goofy. Now, Volume 4 never seemed to come out. It was stuck in limbo for the longest time, with official reports of "It's in the warehouse, we just can't ship it!"

Well, it seems that it DID get released last Christmas. The only place to buy it is on Williams Street's website:
http://www.williamsstreet.com/cat/Space-Ghost-Coast-to-Coast/Space-Ghost-Coast-to-Coast-The-1998-Episodes.html

And what's the big problem?

This item cannot be shipped outside the U.S.A.

And I can't even find a reseller on Ebay or Amazon. UGH.

Now, I know that a lot of geeks lurk around here, so the following questions come to mind:

Is there a service I can use for ordering my DVD? I remember that near the US/Canada border, there were places were a Canadian could rent a US PO box, but I wasn't sure if this was legal. I also lack the means to drive across the border.

Or is my best bet finding a friend that I trust enough to have the package arrive at their place and then forward it to me?

...I'm not sure. I'll volunteer to ship package if you can't find anything else though.

Thanks for the offer. :D

I want to buy up some more fandom DVDs, but I think I'll probably move on finishing the Rhino MST3K DVDs first. I think those have the highest chance of going out of print FAST, since many of them are out of print in Canada already. Like, volume 3. The self proclaimed "largest DVD store in Toronto" (which is also the largest city in Canada) doesn't even carry it.

So I still have your Volume 3?

And that makes me cry. At some point I'm going to get a PO box over there.

I think you still have my Volume 3. It's not in Toronto.

Talk to me when you have money and we'll do a group order for the sets. I have some offers for a "go-between" to get the DVDs from the US to Canada.
