Buying Canadian from South Korea (lemm.ee)

Salut, fellow Canadians! I moved to Korea many years ago, and up until recently, I had done any international shopping via Amazon.

I'm looking for a few things and am in need of help:

  1. I need a shipping service that is Canadian owned that I can use to forward parcels to Korea, effectively replacing Amazon's shipping.

  2. I'm in search of Canadian made bedding.

  3. I worked in George Richards/Grafton many moons ago, so I know they're probably my best bet for big and tall clothes, but am looking to see if anything else has become an option since I left.

  4. Shoes... I'm a 16EEE sized shoe... I don't even know where to begin to find replacements for my boats-for-feet coverings. I've even tried local cobblers here in Korea with no success.

Any ideas?

Okay, how did that go, lol? Did they tell you to go back up the beanstalk?

It's hard enough finding shoes in size 14 here. I can only imagine looking for 16EEE (is that like double-wide?) in Asia.

Poorly. They said they don't have patterns that big. I offered to source them. Still no. Fair enough, I suppose. I get the same treatment looking for a tall bicycle here.

What do you mean you don't want to look like this guy below?!

God....check your privilege bud!

Hard /s there if it wasn't obvious.
