I'm in the same boat with my package, only one of my items was discounted (2-part with dosers) by $20. It's something, but everything else wasn't discounted at all. I'll see about getting a PO box in Point Roberts or something to get this shipped over. Might work out better. Plus I absolutely loathe UPS. But it does say free shipping over $175!

For those who wish to get in on free shipping, and have a passport, you can setup an account through a shipping company in the states. I'm using one in Point Roberts, WA.

www.thelettercarrier.com/

Or, if your in the Langley/Abbotsford area - try packageexpress.com - just send it to the place in Sumas, and pick it up. You get the package faster, and you can get free shipping if you buy more than $175.

I've been using Pacific Mail and Parcel by the truck crossing.

We've been using then for years since it is much faster than waiting for it to come across the border.

Plus it is close to my workplace.

Here's an option for anyone who is ordering anything less than $175 in the Vancouver area:

I have a shipping point in the US. I will be getting the items probably the same time you will, so I can buy your items for you, ship it to the address, then you can pick it up from me at my work in Richmond, my other work in Coquitlam, J&L Aquatics, or home in Surrey. That way, you don't have to pay for shipping!

All you would need to do is PM me the item you wish to purchase, paypal me the amount in USD and I'll buy it for you - and supply you with a tracking number. Once it arrives, I'll let you know and we can go from where you wish to pick up from.

Easy!

Also! Not sure if it works or not, but use the coupon code BRSC12 to get $5 off your order. ;D

Probably wait off until the end of this month for the next one. I ran into some issues with BRS during the ordering process. I also haven't gotten my items yet, so until then I can't critique their performance and if money was saved overall.

On a side note; hopefully everyone got a sizable bounty. What did others end up getting?

I ended up with some odds and ends. Check valve, DI refill, GFO, CoralRX and the 2 part/w dosers!

I picked up 2 - 1 gallon jugs of mag sulfate, mag chloride, calcium for me and another local reefer, a bunch of bulkheads, a couple years worth of rodi filters and some gate valves. Shipping sucks though. Gotta find a local supplier.

Didn't order much, gallon of GFO, and a couple more of each of the pre-measured Ca and Alk pouches. Thanks again for organizing.
