[Woodcarver] Heads-up on shipping to Canada

[Mike Bloomquist]

In addition there are extra fees to the recipient (at least for businesses
like Chipping Away), when you use shippers other than the US Postal service.
Found this out the hard way shipping a Santa to Dennis.

Keep on Carvin'

> If you haven't recently sent carvings or other items to Canada, you
> may be surprised to learn that for security reasons,  inbound
> packages to Canada are now subject to stricter mail address and
> import regulations.   Packages not meeting the requirements will
> apparently be returned to the sender for correction.
>
> Regulations include,  for example, that full first and last name of
> the sender and recipient be included.  The address must be printed in
> ink or typewritten in CAPS only.    The last line of the address must
> 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.
