I just placed a couple of orders through Borderfree. One with eToys and the
other with Amazon.
I was recently trying to find the Lego Team Transport with the mini-soccer
ball but had no luck. Etoys had them available for $13US. I placed a
smallish order (~$100Cdn) because of my fear that eToys is going under in
April.
Borderfree is currently has a couple of promotions:
1) new users get free shipping on their first order
2) free shipping from Amazon
Anywho, it seems like a very good deal, and I'm anxiosly awaiting the orders
to arrive. Too bad I missed all the good deals earlier in the year.

PS No, I don't work for Borderfree either.
