slightly off topic question for people with a US shipping address... what service do you guys use? and do you guys have some sort of health/travel insurance for when you cross over? i know it's a short trip but awhile back i read about someone on another message board who got hit by an uninsured US driver and what should have been a 1 hour round trip turned into a 2 week hospital stay in the US :(

i wonder how much shipping is to canada....only one way to find out ;)

if you go through the checkout process but not submit any payment information you can do an online shipping quote with your postal code. international orders like canada are given two usps mailing options.

anyone here have any idea what the trend will be like for the exchange rate? are we going to keep falling?

how long is a typical trip to the point roberts for you? it takes me over an hour just to get to the peace arch from home :o

Gas run at night takes me 45min. Regular pick up would take 1hr to 1 1/2 hr

ok so online i saw this guy who made dioramas for his cars, gave it a shot
the brick textured piece started lifting and you can see the outline of the sheet, might do a couple tweeks on it later n add a tree in there or something else. half decent for a first go i thought

Has anyone here used Eztoys.com? - DA.C

looks like a pretty safe site
item's sitting in the cart and my wallet is sweating :okay:

anyone using LED strips to display their models for cabinet lighting? Is there a certain brightness not to exceed so paint on the model/acrylic on the case won't degrade over time?
Where did you source the strips that can plug into the wall?

have you tried home depot? otherwise it would have to be those DIY places like the one across the street from home depot burnaby or the one at the corner of 1st and boundary...
