My son-in-law and his wife are living in Canada while he goes to school, and she runs into a lot of that - stores that won't ship to Canada. So she has them sent to my address and I send it on. I send all their Christmas/Birthday, etc through the mail as well. We've never had any problem and I haven't noticed anymore hassle sending to them than when I send things to my Navy family in other countries. As long as both parties understand about cost and agree on the method of shipping, it shouldn't be a problem.
