If I am on a boarder town & can get your product sent to a US holding service...

Then all I have to do is pitch to my boss and we buy off your site??
And say help out a few of my other friends up here who are in need of your product if they cover shipping... This
could be win / win for all, until full export capacities are reached.

Hi Kevin,
A U.S. "holding service" is just a costly inconvenience for you and for me. These types of "services" are at best, suspect in nature. I have taken further steps to minimize the shipping costs to ALL of Canada, which will take effect in the next few days. Instead of adding 68% to the total purchase price (which I agree is absolutely unacceptable), I have
negotiated with UPS International Standard Ground for a 'Weight-Based Rate'.
What that means in black & white is this: If you order 4 gallons and the total weight of the shipment is 40# (18kg) the shipping costs will only be around $2.00 lb (USD) which is very reasonable, considering the type of contents being shipped. That's not really all that much more than it costs to ship my products to the eastern seaboard of the U.S.
If I ship to a 'holding service', I lose control of cost metrics, end-user satisfaction, tracking & overall shipping logistics.
The website integration of the NEW shipping costs will take several days to implement, so I appreciate your patience.
There's a lot of HTML code that has to be changed on the website and a new interactive checkout procedure that will tell you as you purchase what the total costs are going to be.
In the meantime, you can call Toll-Free & place any order and I can personally tell you what the total WITH shipping to Canada is going to be. 1.800.710.1273
Thanks!
Bill
