@MrHoss US address, not sure how much is saved but it is always nice to get a visit with him.
I'm very lucky to live only 20min from the border so a PO box saves me hundreds of dollars a year in shipping costs.

Some businesses can ship cross border a lot cheaper but residential shipments are always nasty.

Pickings are slim here in Ontario, unless you like 3-4 year old black OTS's .... ;)
I actually have a place I can go across the ditch. I just need to get a new passport.
