Sellers often restrict sales to the continental US or "CONUS",  
because of shipping troubles, perceived higher costs, etc. In my own  
case (I sell on Ebay) I'll ship anywhere in the Empire, but it MUST  
be part of the Empire. Thus, Alaska, Hawaii, US bases overseas, no  
problem. However, absolutely NOT Canada. You see, Canada is not  
actually part of the USA. Many Canadians wish it were, and your  
message shows you are one of these. I feel for you, almost everyone  
in the world wishes they were in our wonderful Empire. I suggest you  
write to whatever you use for politicians up there and see if you can  
initiate a movement to beg the USA to incorporate Canada as a state,  
after all, you guys have oil. Good luck! Let us know how it goes, and  
we wish your success! 73 de Alex NS6Y.

I am sorry, but I am still not clear about your explaination as to why
_you_ don't ship to Canada (or Mexico)?

Is is shipping costs? Legal hassle? Bad deals? Xenophobia? Dislike of
other countries? Longer line-ups or slower service at the post office
to send foreign mail?

BTW Thanks for the offer regarding a change in government, but I'll
stick with our Queen.[1]

Chalk it up to pure xenophobia, that and the fact that the  
crookedness/fraud/psycho rate is over 50%. It's profitable to hate  
foreigners just like it's profitable to avoid really bad parts of  
town at midnight with $100 bills hanging out of one's pocket.  
Xenophobia - it's a good thing.  73 de Alex NS6Y.
