We have extended our normal store discounts and shipping terms to 
Canadian stores, so they can receive our goods via UPS and qualify 
for free shipping as well.  I am well aware of the problems in Canada 
at the moment, and the consolidation of distributors both here and in 
Canada - but none of them are calling to order miniatures at the 
moment, and it has been my experience that consolidation leads to 
lower inventory levels industry wide.  I am no longer selling to 
businesses that compete with each other, I am selling to regional 
warehouses of a single company.

We will be adding a secure transaction area to the website, and hope 
to add an online wholesale area as well, where stores can place and 
TRACK their orders.  It just takes time and money, both of which are 
always in short supply!!
