'Rural' Alberta Problems

[Scythanith]

Most stores will order in items you want and hold them for you. At most they will require payment upfront, no different from an online source. Then you pick up when you can make it in to town. If it's the actual drive you're unhappy about.... well not much you can do about that aside from moving closer. The living things we bring in don't react well to bus shipping, multiple day shipping to rural locations, etc.
