Instead, Dominique and Rielly use their fire number (a number representing their home in case of a fire) and then use Lake Temagami as their street address, she said.
"A lot of the time companies are like, 'You didn't give me a real address.' And I'm like, 'I did. It's a real address, it's registered,'" she said.
If it's being delivered by Canada Post, it's not an issue – Dominique and Rielly just collect it from town. It gets complicated with other shipping companies, she said.
For example in 2018, she ordered her wedding dress from Budapest, Hungary. When it arrived in Ontario, it suddenly got lost, she said, and it took weeks of contacting people back and forth to finally find it.
It turned out the wedding dress was in a town an hour and a half away. "It was a whole ordeal for them to even deliver it to us," she said.
Now they have the phone numbers of the freight companies and get in touch ahead of time. Despite the difficulties, Dominique shops online 70% more on Island 203 than she did living in a town, she said.
