Oooohhh, someone else ****ed off...
It would be a GREAT thing to have a contact that could handily get us US goods, especially HelloLights stuff. I got one of the last shipments to Canada from them, a reflector and socket.
In Vancouver you have the distinct advantage of being pretty much right AT the border, and to have family to bring stuff back over would be a huge benefit. Problem is for us in Calgary, the border is hours away, and it's unlikely that we have anyone "on the other side" as there are no cities in Montana nearby.
I appreciate you trying to let us in on a good thing - a sale in this case - but I think your original post was a little vague and left us filling in the blanks. Not a big problem, it's the nature of the medium... A quick typed note can only contain so much information, and people often skim these posts and miss stuff.
