Expensive as 'ell for us to order from 'merican online stores. Sometimes it doubles the quoted price.
Example...I ordered a Newsboy Apple style cap from Kalifornia and the $27.56 quoted price turned into a $59.66 charge on my credit card.
Wife ordered me a jacket from Woolrich for Christmas...almost as bad plus it didn't fit. She did get me a nice Columbia canvas and fleece vest from somewhere down there that I kept.

Socialism sucks.

At least with a 25% reduction, and the right to return at no cost, you'd be breaking about even.


He could probably get a nice sealskin coat at a good price up
thar. Harry always says buy local and look for the union label. I
wonder if there is a seal clubbers union up thar.

Now that the emerald ash borer has destroyed a tremendous number of ash trees (all of which are
infested in this county), the price of bats and clubs may have gone way up. That could drive the
price of baby seal skins pretty high also. They are clubbed to death, no?


Donnie could answer that better than
I.

Bet y'all don't know that the majority of Major League bats are made of maple in good 'ol Canada. We're bailing y'all out yet again.

With the cap, it is a combination of all three. The $15+ US shipping charge alone accounted for just over $20.00 of the difference.
We can get free shipping on our LL Bean stuff.

"Why did you pay $15 if shipping is free"


As I stated earlier, the cap came from a company in California. They do have free shipping if you spend more than my cap cost but only applied to the lower 48 states. I just mentioned LL Bean to illustrate the different policies of various American retailers.

Do all Canadian retailers share the same policies, or is there one policy mandated by the
government?

That didn't address the issue. Are the maple bats better than the ash bats for slaughtering baby
seals?

Hillerich & Bradsby and Marucci Sports are at the top of the Major League bat producers. Both are
American companies.

Also received rain/snow bib pants from Cabrellas, but since there are a few stores in Canada, I believe she paid in Canadian dollars.

It's "Cabelas". Doesn't Canada import the same Chinese crap?
