I have a couple of regular customers from Canada, one lives in Vancouver and has a mail box service in Blaine, WA just across the border that he has me send to. Another lives in Toronto and has a son in Buffalo so he has me send stuff there.

(U.S.$$$), so more like $20 to us. A lot of them lose good potential Canadian business because they aren't aware of this total rip-off that they are party to.

Great info, guys!

Thanks.
