Don't know if this would work, but might be worth a shot. Kind Ed's in Burnaby sells IO for $30 a bucket, and brings it in pallets at a time. If you called them, and spoke to the owner, maybe you could make a deal with them to drop ship a pallet to Thompson, and just pay the difference in shipping. They would still get the sale and add to their volume discounts from the manufacturer, so both of you would benefit. Here's their contact info.
