I was ordering a small black moveable alphabet "without" the box and it was either Montessori Outlet or Montessori N' Such...they wanted $71.00 to ship this very light weight $13.00 item to my home!!!!! That's crazy!! I actually order a lot of our materials from Kidadvance and have had amazing luck with quality and customer serivce. To ship over the border for this item was only $8.00...it's hard to beat that:)) Also fill up with gas while you are there... that will practically pay for your gas over in savings:))<br />My two cents...:))Cherine Muirheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01107665808653181237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190462048494164843.post-57277032141661072002012-02-10T07:21:53.629-08:002012-02-10T07:21:53.629-08:00thanks! I'm going to check that up. I am not ...thanks! I'm going to check that up. I am not so far away from the border as well (more then 5 minutes mind you!), I am wondering if it would be a good investment to travel to the border for that.<br /><br />I have refrained from orderiing from places like Montessori N' such because of shipping issues, that would kind of open a new door...:)Neptunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633808709890395812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190462048494164843.post-83540924233376594392012-02-09T18:35:35.839-08:002012-02-09T18:35:35.839-08:00I am very close to a border crossing.

You can either use the UPS Store or The Corporate Center. I cannot even say how much we have saved in shipping...not to mention I've yet to see many retailers that can compete with the prices their sellers offer. Yes... Amazon.ca is basically useless to me for the things I am after.Cherine Muirheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01107665808653181237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190462048494164843.post-7043358818658217432012-02-09T17:05:08.036-08:002012-02-09T17:05:08.036-08:00Ho do you order from Amazon.com?
