I'm interested in buying clothing online and having a third party ship it to me.

Anybody do this regularly? Do you find it a hassle?

Any documentation, such as receipts needed?

Also interested in costs of shipping.

I'm looking to buying bigger sized clothing and having it sent over. Many stores don't carry the 38 inch pants or the 110 shirts. Seems 36 in. and 105 are the biggest I can find.

Very Happy

I've done this a couple of times. I just had my mom rip off the tags and write "used clothing" on the customs form. I didn't have any problems those two times, and there were no extra customs charges. I thought someone posted customs regulations on importing clothing recently somewhere here on the boards, though.

I've never actually bought clothing online before, however, just gotten my friends or my mom to buy stuff in Canada and then ship it. I imagine if you bought from an online retailer that they'd sort all of the customs out. You may have to pay a duty on it, depending on how much you spent, when you receive the parcel.
