To answer your question, neither. We were just at WDW and forgot to buy something. There is a toll free number on the top of each receipt where you can call Disney Merchandise and ask them to locate an item and ship it to your home. The AllEars website says the shipping rate for Canadians (I assume it would be 'international') is $25 for $20-$30 worth of merchandise. I was just hoping that had changed. I can't imagine paying more for shipping than what the item itself is worth....plus any duty.
Where in Ontario do you live? I'm going next week, and if the item isn't too large, I'd be happy to work something out with you to pick it up for you if you like. I know what it's like to want something and not be able to get it because of shipping costs. That's what DIS friends are for, right?
I thought of asking but I figured it would be a bit of a pain.....If it was something you could easily pick up at the MK or DTD I'd say "SURE!" but since its 'resort specific' merchandise, I believe it would require actually GOING to that resort and picking it up and I couldn't ask anyone to go out of their way and do that for me (unless of course your going to SSR?) Then, because it is a coffee mug I want, they can be a bit bulky and take up otherwise precious room for your souvenirs....so I wouldn't want to burden anyone with that.....but thanks for offering.
Has anyone from Canada had personal experience ordering merchandise from Disney's mail order service after coming home from a trip?
How much was shipping and/or duty if any? I noticed prices on Allears but I think that might be outdated.
You're so very welcome! I just thought if you lived nearby here in Ontario, I would have no problem picking up your item and you could pick it up or we could meet somewhere and I would give it to you that way. We are not going to SSR this trip though (love staying there!), as this is a budget, non-DVC trip, so hope you can get it when you go back. I'm sure they'll still have it as they don't change merchandise styles that often.
