Thanks to telemarketers, I threw out my phone so HAVE NO PHONE.
generally, I reply same day the email comes; if I do not, then you may assume that I've gone to the cabin where there is NO email; power, phone, or any of such modern conveniences. Please give me up to 2 weeks to reply. If by then I *still* have not replied, something went funny and you best try again. Please.
1. ONE stick is more easily broken in the mail. I recently mailed 3 "down east" and the whole package, all three, were smashed.
2. Canada Post rules say that such a long parcel must be at least 15.2 cm wide; that means a parcel must have 5 or more in it.
3. The "postage cost per stick" is MUCH lower. Example:
I mailed two package of 5 sticks each, to the USA; average cost per stick: $7.22
Then I mailed one package of 10 sticks same, day, to the US: cost per stick: $4.37

- you'll find pictures HERE. Pick the ones you like best.
(Pictures HERE)
- NOTE that the picture of the C$20 sticks is a SAMPLE only; there are too many to show them all. Ask for a picture of some sticks which you can choose from.
- tell me where I should mail the sticks to (complete mailing address) so I can figure out mailing cost
If there is any way that you could pick up the sticks or have someone pick them up for you, there will be zero such cost. People from the USA visiting Alaska often come through my city.
The cost of postage depends on the dimensions and weight of the parcel and where they are going.
Here are some ideas of postage cost, for sticks mailed out in May, June, 2011:
15 to Alaska: $54
21 (Cane Kit) to Colorado: $43 (short ones)
5 to California: $34
15 to Ontario: $42
21 (Cane Kit) to Wisconsin: $45 (short ones)
5 to Connecticut: $44
15 to Maine: $72
22 (Scout Sticks) to Kentucky: $56
Generally the post office promises 9-working-day delivery but that rarely happens. Frequently, postage is the same whether the parcel has 1 or 5 sticks; the length is usually the determining factor; more so than weight.
I do not charge for "handling." It is more expensive to mail a parcel to some states than to others. Each state is given (by the post office) a code; "Code 3" is the most expensive, "Code 1" is the cheapest. The only states which are "Code 1" are Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

NOTE: Paypal charges me, the seller, exorbitant fees; please add US$3.00 to your total.
2. US Postal Money order; the "INTERNATIONAL" version; not the "domestic" one, payble to me, Ken Laninga and mailed to me:

The Post Office charges you US$3.50 for that.
I promise to send the sticks out as soon as possible after the $$ arrives.
