I've finally found theperfect small side table for my office remodel. Only one problem: the company is in Canada and does not ship internationally. I'm in NY. Looking for any ideas about:

• shipping cheaply: I have a friend in Canada who might be able to ship it to me. Also could use a shipper but that seems pricey;
• similar tables at other stores (I've seen one at World Market that I don't like)
• other possibilities.

Thanks!
