Low profit margin - high volume dealer .. plus I

have no grandiose ideas of becoming rich .. and the

new pope is considering me for Sainthood. ;-)

Good it is.

That's a fact .. and it often bypasses Customs and goes

directly to the buyer .. FedEx and UPS will not bypass.

You know my opinion on this .. I think that its fair for

a country to tax their citizens for purchasing goods or

services outside that country IF those goods or services

are also available in that country .. its only fair to

expect folks to support the home front .. but I think it

is NOT fair to tax them for items not produced in their

country .. just the opinion of one feller.

 

NAFTA is not being violated .. but it is being grossly

circumvented when they call a tax by a different name.

Yep .. so does FedEx .. though I think FedEx is far less

costly for shipping than is UPS .. and faster.

 

> Ien in the Kootenays

 

I thank you ma'am for the order .. am pleased that you are

pleased .. and I thank you for this nice testimonial.
