Lol that's the funniest E36 M3 I've heard all day.

As well as Celine. But you did give us Barenaked Ladies.

I see that venting here to lower your blood pressure has worked really well.

I'm pretty sure they only know one guitar and bass line.......we should have gotten imperialistic earlier on and just took over Canada. Mexico too for that matter(I mean, we at least beat the crap out of them)

Oh the things I'd do with a time machine.

Yeah, as if that makes up for Justin Bieber.

You say that as though you think it is a problem. There are some Australians who have been making the same album for years.

In reply to JoeyM:

You aren't selling things to Canadian truckers are you? Seems to me those guys are the same sort of people that get sent to the police academy in the USA. Other than that and a bio teacher in high school, I cant say I've came across a Canadian I found to be an shiny happy person.

Even the customs and immigration super cops at the border are nice reasonable people.

I was in Sarnia and saw a Canadian kick a puppy.

Americas hat

In reply to logdog:

I heard her kid also punched a kitten......

At least y'all gave us Rush. That makes up for Celine Dion and Nickelback but not for Justin Bieber. Y'all are going to have to assassinate him (hint, hint).

Without question, I get the greatest amount of grief from my American customers. My payment and shipping instructions are very, very clear, and very concise. There can be no misunderstanding, yet I am routinely paid in the wrong currency (most don't seem to understand that there is another currency aside from the USD). They often give me a different address than the one in their PP account, despite being told NOT to in the payment instructions, and NEVER include their phone number, despite this being term of service. The worst part, however, is the fact that they get all pissy when they find out that they won't have it the next day. I have seriously had American customers send me nasty emails complaining that they haven't received their parts yet, and I haven't even processed, or shipped the order yet.

Then obviously you need to hurry the berkeley up. Down here, if you ask the average person if they want fast or they want it right they'll holler 'fast'.

Wow. Nice.

I think you missed the part where we are not allowed to ship outside the US. When the manufacturer says "No", you listen or lose your franchise. It isn't even our choice. So you can take your condescending attitude and your personal attack and go find some Canadians to talk to.

I didn't, but I think you missed the part where I said some.

And by ignorant, I meant businesses that are giving up a money making opportunity because they think it's either too difficult, or not worth it.

FWIW, I buy most of my bike related stuff out of the states. The prices are excellent, and there are shops that have it figured out. They get all my business.

I buy lots of stuff from the U.S. In most cases The prices can't be beat by Canadian retailers. If I come across one that won't ship to Canada, I simply click my mouse a few more times and find one that does. Then I bookmark those suppliers.

It usually doesn't matter the size of the business ether. I order from small outfits and large ones. One of the small ones; the same guy always answers the phone. He is the owner and he has no employees he occasionally gets help from his wife.

I ship eBay crap to America once a week and have very little grief.

YOU guys on the other hand, need to get your E36 M3 together.

Guam, Puerto-Rico et al are NOT states, no matter how much eBay wants them to be. Free shipping in the continental USA is just that.

Alaska and Hawaii can eat a bag of dicks too.

I am personally offended by their non-committal languages policies. And the fact that they're British, but not really. And their FBI wears red sometimes. What's that about?

I like hockey though, good on ya there.

If you think Canadians are cranky (they're not, I characterize them more as whiny), you need to get an angry Puerto Rican on the phone asking why you won't take his credit card. Well, other than the rampant fraud in PR. They always get into the "but we're part of the US" speech, I think they learn it at school.

So, did they leave willingly or were they kicked out?

Hey, when you have something that works, why change the formula?

You listen to AC/DC, any album, you know what you're gonna get. Some pretty kickass rock-n-roll that doesn't get hung up on trying to be fine art or anything.

I was coming back from the grocery store tonight and an Acura EL (whatever one of those are!) with Ontario tags changed lanes without signaling. They were making a beeline for Port Huron, no doubt smuggling a trunk full of car parts bought from an unsuspecting O'Rielly parts counter jockey.
