It is with regret that I announce that as of March 1st we will discontinue our service to Canada. With the decline in Canadian sales due to the increasing availability of online retailers with similar product lines, as well as the increased cost and administrative burden associated with fewer sales, it is no longer economically viable for us to continue shipping to Canada.
As you may recall, we have a special program set-up through UPS where you pay your shipping, a small brokerage fee, duty, and GST up-front when you place your order. Then we make a consolidated shipment to Canada once a week. That is the key for the program to work. It is kind of an economy of scale thing. Well, we just never got there. We gave it a try.
I thank all of you who supported us. Now, unfortunately, we are about to become just another one of those US centric retailers.
