All you do is put the address of the store when you order. Once it gets there they will hold it for up to a week or more depending on how busy the store it I guess. (She didnt specifically say it was a policy to hold it only a week, they just would rather you did.)
Whomever you order from should be giving you a tracking number, follow it and when it gets to the store pick it up. Remember you have to declare it but usually that isnt much...just GST and PST at best...the the usual Brokerage ginormous fee.

Anyway I hope this help someone out. And if it has been mentioned sorry bout that.

Order and insist on United States Postal Service (USPS). You will usually avoid all Brokeage Fees, and have more money to buy additional equipment.
My 2 cents.
