Just found this site! It might be helpful to some of us living here and wanting some of our favorite products from the US. It sells some food too!

Keep in mind that just because medicine is OTC in the US doesn't mean it's OTC here. Caught by customs might just get the confiscated, but it could potentially land you in trouble.

Most medicines you get back home are available here, in identical doses just under different brand names.

This is wonderful. I was looking for someplace that had my deodorant and vitamins in case I get in a pinch. :)

Have you used this drug store before?  If so, how was the service?

Everyone might want to take note: they close off international shipping on November 3, 2011. So if you want something, better order it soon!

medshopexpress.com has flat rate 14 dollar shipping for first 1kg.  My husband and I used it to get some deodorant and cold medicine. takes about 2 to 3 weeks to arrive but very good service.

I don't know what experiences other people have had, but I've had medicine shipped from Canada that wasn't OTC here and all Customs wanted was a bit of an import fee (about 5% of the total cost of the medicine).  This has happened a couple of times.

What did you have shipped? Just because you don't see it behind the counter doesn't mean it's not OTC here.  Importing a controlled substance is illegal and if you actually imported one, be glad they let it through.

MyUS.com (only for US it seems)

Has anyone used these guys? They do international ship forwarding. From what the website says, you ship to an address they give you at their headquarters, and they will ship it directly to you internationally. Apparently you can have ANY US retailer you buy from ship to them and they'll forward it on.

Certainly they'll do drug store stuff (there are restrictions on what can ship, i.e. into SK)

I feel like this should be it's own topic..

Anyone used it?
