ah, i see.

i'll email cullen sometime.

also, my bro being in the job he's in, he can see which companies ship from where to where... and we know some longshoremen too - so they can tell us who to use, who not to use.

the who not to use companies are the ones that have been nailed for contraband in the past and thus have many of their containers checked, especially for first time overseas transporters (like us) - a cost which canada border services agency (used to be canada customs) passes on 100% to the consumer! adding a grand or two canadian to the cost of shipping a can - as they tear apart the walls/floors/ceilings of the can and dust it for narcotics etc.
