I find myself constantly being forced to shop online.  Being a “Fly Triple F”, living in Toronto isn’t easy.  Not only am I a self proclaimed Triple F but I also stand about 6′0 tall and I wear a size 11/12 shoe depending on the style, I find the selection of clothing and shoes available to me very limited.  So instead of perusing the mall and leaving empty handed I search the web and find lots of things (if only I had enough money to order everything)  

One problem I’m finding is that most of the stores that I order from only delivered to the USA.  Luckily I have an amazing Aunt that lives in Buffalo, NY and I ‘m able to send stuff there.  Most recently I ordered some stuff from Torrid.  A hot fuchia dress, some spanks (a total must have for any Triple F’s wardrobe), fish nets and a few other items.  Half of my order I didn’t like either because it looked different then I thought it would or the fit was not suitable for me.  Not only did I have to pay over $100.00 for shipping and custom costs but I also would have had to pay to return the items. 

Instead, I decided to hop in my car with my girlfriend and take them back to Buffalo.  That way I would be able to see what else was available.  Let me tell you something, America is the place to be if your a full bodied women, everything is at your finger tips.  My girlfriend and I had a ball!!  When placing the order I knew about the shipping costs but the customs charges totally through me off. 

I think ordering on line is great if your order is free of customs and shipping charges but shipping to Canada is really a pain in the ASS.  I will continue to shop on line only because of all the choice that is available to me but I have decided to only ship my orders to my Aunt’s house from now on even if the company ships to Canada it’s just not worth it.
