Ordering Syntrax Nectar in Canada

[Rockpaperthinner 6]

So I'm in Vancouver, Canada and I'm trying to find out if there are any Canadians who have had success ordering Syntrax nectar in Canada. I've ordered the sampler pack from netrition.com, the cost of shipping was unreasonable but I caved, and the shipping time was much longer than I had anticipated.

I've found thelowcarbgrocery.com, but they only have a select amount of flavors, and the base price is nearly double what I've found on U.S. sites.

Pretty much I'm wanting to know if you've found somewhere with a full range of the flavors that ships to Canada, and if you could let me know if the shipping costs were reasonable or not.

Thanks!

I am also from vancouver and have opened up a p.o box just over the border. I do my grocery shopping in bellingham every two weeks. I just have all my online purchases shipping to my p.o box in bellingham and pick them up while I do my grocery and clothing shipping in the states.

I save huge money on shipping and duty... plus cheap groceries and gas.

On a side note I am looking for a sleeve friendly doctor in lower mainland. How is your doctors attitude to your sleeve surgery? Where you sleeved in Canada?

I think I just replied to your post on the Canadian board, asking you to let me know if you find a good doctor! Mine is sooooo anti-Mexico, and anti-sleeve in general. I have a good endocrinologist who is really positive, but I'm still looking for a PCP who is not negative.

I do quite a bit of shopping in Bellingham as well, and was thinking about going that route if all else fails. What's the cost like to have a P.O. box down there? Do you have to claim it when you come back through the border or is it like groceries where they don't make you pay duty?

I pay about 100 a year for the p.o box. My family does a lot of online shopping and we are easily saving over 1000 a year just in shipping cost not including the amounts we save on duty. I don't claim what I pick up from my p.o box. I just act like I bought it recently in bellingham. They ask me what I was doing in the states and I tell them grocery and clothing shopping. I declare how much I spent during the day and they let me pass on through. I have been to the states every 2 weeks for the last 2 years buying food, clothing and gas and have only been asked 1 time to pay duty on a product. It was a $600 dyson vacuum on top of the other 400+ in grocery and clothing we spent that day. They only charged me on the dyson and not the other things. I usually spend about 3-400 every 2 weeks and never once had to pay duty. Just dont go to the states and spend thousands of dollars on clothing. Keep it under 500 and you will be fine.
