Once again, I'm searching for a Canadian hobby retailer/distributor. Many of you know that the US Postal Service has dramatically increased shipping fees on Int'l packages. Canada has traditionally been spared this treatment in the past, but no more. Mailing a book to Canada is now twenty dollars. I have a lot of Canadian customers, and I suspect that many of them will not be my customers in the future if they have to pay twenty bucks to get a game book shipped from across the border. So I need a Canadian affiliate; somebody who would be willing to buy a large wholesale quantity for a good discount, and then ship to the Canadians, to avoid the postal fees. I need somebody who is reliable and who does significant mail-order business. Up to now I haven't had any luck. I've had a couple of issues over the years with a few retailers who had extraordinary delays paying for products ordered. Most of the other names and references I've been given in the past have been dead ends, either gone out of business or not responding to emails. So if you have the right person in mind, please contact me via my website, with the link below: thanks, Sam Mustafa

Sam, You might also try Darryl & Mark Wall Woodrows Warstore
in Alberta and they would only charge 5% GST whereas Ontario
charges 13% HST on taxes. Just so no one gets the wrong idea "I live in Ontario" but
like all of us I hate taxes and unnecessary increases. Name: Darryl Wall, General Manager
Phone: (780) 490-6757
