Wow, cool those jets and get a grip!
Where do you get the impression that the complaint was anti-American? The
complaint was against a particular company and their sales/shipping
procedures/costs. Not against ALL Americans.
<tongue-in-cheek>Ticked-off by another American spouting off yet another
generalisation and thinking criticising one small American thing is
insulting the entire nation...</tongue-in-cheek>
And seeing as an American would never deal with Canada Post, the
exorbitant cost is due to the US postal service AND their agreements with
Canada Post. Also surprises me that the costs are that different. Using
FedEX or UPS to ship to the US seems to be similarly priced as using them
to ship from the US. Could the difference in price be taxes and duty?
