Hello Bob
BZ: I still don't understand why I'm here.
Listen, Bob, we like you, we're your friends. We want to help you.
BZ: What the hell are you talking about. Where is the beer you said was here?
Bob, we've noticed that you've been lashing out a bit.
BZ: I'm not lashing out. It's not my fault that everyone is a berkeleying idiot.
Bob, you ask for help and tell everyone they're stupid
BZ, that one guy who suggested I get an Alfa was pretty stupid
OK, I'll grant you that, but still, that's sort of the theme around here. You know that. Plus, what about the Canada thread?
BZ: What, Canada sucks and everyone who lives there is cranky. Friggin Canadians.
OK, let's start there. Everyone who lives in Canada is cranky?
BZ: berkeley yeah.
You're telling us that all 34.5 million are cranky and unreasonable.
BZ: Yes, why are you talking to me like this? Don't you have something stupid to do with your stupid self like drive a non Korean car? What, next you're going to tell me to try Hondas. Loser.
OK, now I'm stupid?
BZ: Nothing personal. You're just a big stupid head with a big stupid face and I hate you. That's all.
Uhh, actually, that does sound rather personal, Bob.
BZ: Everyone is like that. Everyone in this country, anyway.
OK, so now the US, so a combined 360 something million people Bob...
BZ: Listen, just because I spent four week chewing you guys out for not fixing my Corvette over the internet doesn't mean I can't do addition.
OK, sure, Bob, but we're just into it another power of ten. That's pretty bad, and when...
BZ: While we're at it...
No Bob, let's stop there. Can it really -always- be someone else?
BZ: Yes. Can I go now?
No. Other than you, you're saying that nearly 7 billion people on this plant are all stupid.
BZ: Well, a few of you guys are OK, and my wife and...
OK, so 6 billion and a lot of change, yes?
BZ: Yup.
Bob, it might... just stay with me here... it might, just, maybe, could be you.
We love ya, Bob.

There is no reason to apologize for Bryan Adams.
Agreed. That song was great before the mashup.
BTW, the original Tom Cochran version of Life Is A Highway is better than the Rascal Flatts cover in the movie cars.
BTW, another Canukistani song that is vaguely car related (it was used in the Italian Job remake.): Pedal To The Metal
Well, first of all Corporate does not allow any part to leave the US. Not our call. Second, the paper work is ridiculous to ship outside the US. The duties and fees we get nailed with are astronomical etc. Add in that the highest number of "fraud" (read: I don't want to pay for my parts that I signed for) comes from Canadian addresses. Since their banks are Canadian and not US, we get boned. So, you canucks want parts from the US, stop being douchebags.
So if I read this correctly (tell me if I'm wrong)....
"Corporate does not allow any part to leave the U.S..."
Fair enough some companies have territories for distributors. You should politely suggest one of the more local distributors to where the customer is located.
I have been referred (and I'm sure my local supplier has referred others to their local supplier. Actually I know they have),
It ended up costing the same as the out of area supplier.
But guess what, If I moved to the area where the business who gave me the referral was located. Guess who I am going to buy from.
"The paper work is ridiculous to ship outside the U.S....."
It just may be, depending on the product. If that is the case, and the customer still wants to order from you... Pass on the cost to the international consumer with a bit of a markup..
"The duties and fees we (you) get nailed with are astronomical...."
The customers usually pay the duty.. If by some chance they don't.. add that into the price. Along with a healthy PROCESSING FEE!!
" Add in that the highest number of "fraud" (read: I don't want to pay for my parts that I signed for) comes from Canadian addresses. Since their banks are Canadian and not US, we get boned..."
Just ask for payment via Pay Pal, credit cards, or international money orders. And tell the customer that until everything completely clears; nothing will be shipped. Also explain to them why... If they don't want to order from you at least there will be no hard feelings.. If they do, at least they will understand why it takes so long......
I left this part for the end of my post for a reason.....
Finally.. How can you claim any of the E36 M3 you mentioned above, if your company doesn't ship to Canada???
Do you have a beef with Canada, because your wife cheated on you with a Hoser??? If so It wasn't me!! there are 30plus million others here!!
Smooth talking bastards.......

It was me. Once she saw my hockey hair, she couldn't resist.
Oh, and Master Bob could always recommend that they use a service like CBIUSA
I saw a documentary that said 90% of Canadians live within a one day march of the border. Chilling to think about.
Margaret Atwood said the Canada-US border is the world's largest one-way mirror. I think she nailed it.
Bob, I laughed at your whining about Zomby's "personal attack" (which didn't seem that bad) in a post YOU made that may possibly offend some of your fellow community members . . .

Awesome, thanks.

My post was neither personal, nor an attack.

You are right. I edited my post.

The only way they'll make it more than 3mi across the border is to all invade through NY......ya know since their public is limited to 7rds of ammo. 
No, he's right. We're all shiny happy people, and he shouldn't even think about visiting.
I bought a EN40 crankshaft for my MG Midget race motor from a guy in Canada. He had no problem shipping it to me.
Came in a hockey skate box.
True story.

Yep. I agree with this. I hated visiting Canada when I visited back in 8th grade on a cross-country road trip. Ottawa was horrendous, full of shiny happy people and ugly as sin. Victoria was full of bums and old, broken buildings....
The people. God, don't get me started on the people. Buncha losers with weird accents and completely rude.
When I was a kid and my parents visited Canada they brought back tangerine lifesavers. Yummy.
Yes. We live on those, poutine, Timmies and beaver tails. That's it. It's always cold here - always. Snow, ice... brrrr! Yes, stay away!!
Been to Canada a few times. Nothing that different other than a lot of "Eh's" and "Aboots" and frenchies. Not a bad place, not a great place... just a place. Nothing draws me there, nothing pushes me away. There's lots of other places on my "to visit" list so no need to visit anytime soon.

Ever think that maybe part of the problem with "rude" people on the phone is that you're missing something that's a little too subtle for you to pick up?
Of course it's me. I'm in CS.... it's ALWAYS your (mine in this case). Just ask the customer.
But I have to ask, I have no problems with any other nationality. So is it still me?
Holy crap, I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

Well... i doubt you get calls from Spain or Italy real often.
Well, they do have milk in a bag, and cheaper maple syrup, and more British E36 M3 if you're in to that sort of thing(WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE POTATO CHIPS).
Just don't get bored on a Saturday night, in a light snowstorm(I drove to high school in worse multiple times), and decide to go make a Canada run for all that stuff in your car with no muffler rocking a Jesus haircut. The Canadians are just perplexed enough to pull you aside and question your sanity, but just shrug at the machete in the trunk. The American border people assume they've caught a real actual terrorist, because who buys groceries in a "blizzard"(LAKE EFFECT MOTHERberkeleyER, I GREW UP IN IT), berkeley up your organized trunk and spill brake fluid in it, ask about your machete (yeah, its for beheading children the hell else would I use it for?), and look REALLLY concerned when they find that transistor radio you duct taped a bunch of D cells to to prank somebody by hiding it in a ventilation duct on low volume playing E36 M3ty pop music for months. Then look all depressed when they find out they only caught a bored engineering student.
