[Woodcarver] Heads-up on shipping to Canada

[Clive Goss]

Hi All,
I have recently received packages from the US. Two from E Bay and one from
Susan Irish. They came through with no problems, and in quite a short time.
So please do not be frightened off by this and stop sending to Canada. We,
your friends in the snowy cold North need your packages and
friendship,,,,,,, please don't abandon and forget us. Keep the mail coming.
Take care.
Clive.

> show only the country;  the postal code may also appear as the last
> line of the address.

> There is also a longer import form,  that requires a specific
> description of the item;  "gift" or "present" is no longer acceptable.
