Can Canadians use hasbro online?

Can we Canadians buy anything from Hasbro?
I tried signing up here but it don't give me an option to select anything outside the of the States.
http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/

And this place allows me to look at products but not buy anything.

I'm hoping I'm just blind and missed something obvious.

Hasbro Toy Shop lets Canadians buy from their site but it does charge a lot for shipping and does charge taxes too and you may get dinged at customs usually if the order is more than $100, at least that's been my experience unless it's at Christmas time then customs is too busy but I digress. Check out as a guest it is much easier.

I bought my SDCC Kreon Yearbook set from them and got it shipped here, so you should be able to...unless they changed something since last year.

EDIT: I just tried logging in, and can. Did you try signing up through the popup message that says sign up for updates or something like that? I think that's just for the newsletter - that one doesn't give you any options outside the States. Go to the top of the page and click "My Account", then select the second option to "Create Account". That one should give you the form to create an account, and it has the Canadian options.

I got the SDCC Shockwave's Lab set through it... shipping was almost as much as the toy tough AND it was shipped through FedEx which is a huge pain in the butt.

Other than buying SDCC exclusives, I would say don't bother. The shipping is crazy expensive and you'll usually get hit with customs.

Every time I look to place and order that shipping quote makes me close the page.

It`s BRUTAL how much shipping to Canada is from the U.S.

Yup, and now the exchange makes it even worse. The only reason I ordered the SDCC Kreon set from them was that even with shipping (and a much more reasonable exchange rate at the time), it was still cheaper than the scalpers on ebay. But as a general rule, yeah they charge you an arm and a leg for shipping to here. Same with the TFCC store.

Agreed special cases it'll make sense!
I used to travel to Buffalo for shopping and would ship it to a warehouse for pick up. With the baby I can't make it out so I stay away from their sites.
