One reason that we do not ship is that we are not set up to take
Credit cards over the phone.
The next reason is we have in the past sent items COD and we never saw
a cent.  We tried the post office system and if we got paid took about
30 days before we say payment.  We tried another system and the checks
bounced.

The only way we ship anything now is PREPAID. To those that do not
understand what that means, "it means you pay us up front."

We then send the product COLLECT, and to those that do not understand
what that means, they pay the shipping.  We do not include it in the
price. So the COLLECT charge is for shipping and insurance.  We would
use PUROTATOR...for tracking.  ( We use this method now ) 

Last because the product is being shipped and the client does not come
to the store.  ALL TAXES WILL BE APPLIED.  So if they live in Quebec,
both the PST and GST are added to the price,  Outside of Quebec only
the GST is added.

Before anyone asks, all taxes that we collect is forward to the
government of Quebec, other wise we could be charged with tax fraud.
(  I know people like to accuse us of many things and so that is why I
am pointing this out )

As you can see, its why we refrain from shipping products or state
that we do.  Some people do not like the idea f PREPAID but its what
they do when they use a Credit Card. 

So till we can find a better way to protect ourselves from retruns,
lost, and failure to get payment this is the only way are able to deal
with this problem.

We are presently working on a new webpage, and depending on PayPal, we
might try that sometime in this new year.
