I have a host that has a lot of family in Canada. Is it possible for them to order through my host's show and ship to Canada?
 
Nope sorry. Shipping has to be within the country. We are not allowed to sell or recruit outside of the country we are residing in. Your host could always take orders using another friends/family member's address that is near her but then she'd have to ship to Canada and the Canadian's would have two shipping charges. Also the possibility of breakage and warranty issues as well to consider.
 
I have a Canadian friend who orders from me, but only when she is going to be in Minnesota visiting her mom. Last year, when we worried it wouldn't be there on time, we looked into shipping to Canada. It is CRAZY expensive.

If she has a stone break, she'll just get it to Mom's when she's on vacation. She goes south at least a couple times a year.
 
You also need to consider customs & import regulations if you plan to take an order in the US & ship it to Canada. Wouldn't want you to get into trouble ... ;)
 
They could easily ship as a 'gift' and have no problems with customs and import regulations. I get things from the US all the time and there's never an issue. Not PC mind you but still have things shipped here to me. It IS crazy expensive though...even more so if shipping from me to you (canada to us)
