Being the doting grandma that I am, I am trying to find a place that sells Thomas the Train t-shirts (in Canada) preferably. Does any one have any idea where I can get one?

I've tried ordering from the website, but they wouldn't ship t-shirts because of merchandising laws or some such nonsense. All I want to do is buy a flipping t-shirt, and hopefully before April 19th. Any help would be appreciated.

I almost feel like writing our government and asking why something this simple, seems to be impossible to do.

Hey there.
Just went on ebay and had a quick look.
Search for Thomas the tank engine t shirts.
Lots come up there. Really cheap and says ships to north and south america. Shipping isnt usually too bad at all for items from the states. Do a lot of christmas shopping on ebay and even with shipping things quite often cheaper.
Good luck!!!!

Yes, I looked on Ebay, but I was hoping to find a local retailer that sold them to cut down the shipping costs. Some of them seem to be very expensive (like $25) just to ship it while others are like ($5-10) so I'm a little leery of why such a big difference?

I want to order a couple, do I really don't want to get a big whopping bill at the end. At least with a retailer, the price is the price.

I have gotten the t-shirt from Zellers in the boys section. My grand daughter wanted one and that was where I got mine. We also got another one at one of those stations that they have set up in the mall.

I'll check it out again, but I looked just recently and didn't find any at Zellers. As well, none of the malls here, have Thomas the Train set up - was that a temporary location for a local business? If so, and they are still there, would they have a phone number to contact them directly?

Not sure if they are still in the mall...it was one of those temporary setups which are there most of the time but disappear without warning. It was at southgate here in Edmonton...the next time I am there will see if it is still there.

Here in Edmonton there is a special thomas store that sells only thomas stuff...like trains..but they might have shirts too.

Southgate shopping Centre is located at 11100 51st Avenue in Edmonton.
On south end of town when you are driving into Edmonton.

i have found that if you call the mall itself they will be very helpful to get you the information you need.
i have ordered from the stores in the mall several times over the years since i left Alberta and had no problems whatsoever.

i just go to google type in southgate mall and select the first one. to get the information you need.

hope this helps,

i believe we are put on this earth to help one another.
if i was still in Ab i would pop up and get it for you.
but no longer there.
