I may have 10 too many done already.
I was asking because in some cases, even sending it this week will mean the recipient may not get it in time for Christmas. But that's the postal service(s) fault, not yours.

I normally just go with a toonie or two in my hand.
I have to admit the Hot Chocolate Supreme is amazing. Hot Chocolate with Chocolate Syrup added in, with a whipped cream and chocolate syrup topping...

Google is your friend. But I think they might be as strict as Australia. Which means: Don't even try it buster.

Australia and New Zealand have some of the strictest custom regulations in the world when it comes to the importation of food products, animal byproduct goods (like leather) and fauna and flora. If in doubt, don't send it.
You can end up facing the same fines and penalties for bringing in undeclared fruit and vegetables as you would cocaine and methamphetamine.

Now THAT is some hardcore penalties. Not that I don't understand the reasons, I used to work in shipping and the hassles just in getting wooden pallets that pass the laws for international shipping can be a pain in the rear.

That's why we only use plastic pallets on international orders. There's too much that needs to be done with wooden pallets that its not worth the hassle.|

You'd be surprised at how strict Australia is on import regulations. A lot of companies won't ship any food products there because trying to determine what will and won't be seized by customs is a logistical nightmare.

Ok I printed out 2 copies of Vyx's List version 2.0. But when sending cards to the great white north (Canada) isn't there something funky you have to do when addressing them? Don't you have to put the postal code first, then the provience?
Why they can not be more American I don't know?
Also what is the current postal rate to send up there?

Nope - According to this site, you do city-province-postal code.|

As to the current rate for up there - the Post Office website has all the rate info you'll need/want.

Getting my cards ready but the Box Jellyfish toxin hasn't arrived yet. It might take a few more days.
