Default TransShipping Request.

I do a lot of "cross border" purchasing. The problem is not the cost of
books, but the cost of freight if sent individually. Another issue is that
many - especially the eBay types - gouge madly on freight costs.

A book being sent to Canada generally costs $6 or so. I have had some
dealers try to charge as high as $27!

I am looking for a booklover who will serve as an address for delivery in
the USA. I will order and pay for the books, which can then be sent to X.
X simply has to take them out of their shipping boxes, add them to a big box
(about the size of the average booze box from the liquor stores, and when
the box is full ship it to me in the cheapest manner - even Greyhound - at
my expense.

Anyone in Washington State interested in helping out?.

A seller recently attempted to charge $18 for one book, notwithstanding a
request to ship Economy Air. A more honest dealer shipped 12 books from NY
State for $10.50. By shipping to an American destination, and then shipping
in a lot up to Canada, I can most certainly expand my purchasing power, such
as it is...
