    i would love to join, but iŽll have to ask in the post office since when my sister was in canada we couldnt send food, any kind, so iŽll have to ask, and besides that itŽll take around 3 weeks or the postage will be a lot of $$$ but itŽll get in 5 days, so iŽll think in stuff that lasts.

    just a question how much would be the sweet gift of??

    I guess Canada has some different chocolate bars and chips that the states doesn't have...which is why we were talking about it originally (I was going to send stuff to Amy) but I imagen any type of sweet you want from chocolate, or even some special baked good if you wanted to?

    I was thinking we should set it up so that different countries ship to other countries?? Duno how it would work? Like one-on-one or whatever.


    I kinda would like to be involved somehow with the arranging of things, (like how Kay and Amy do gift swap) as I've never done so, and think it would be interesting to do...

    Sounds like a great idea. I'd love to participate. I'm not sure about other countries, but in the past I haven't run into problems with Australia, Germany or Japan, either sending or receiving from. The only problem was once with some dried sausage I was actually bring back with me from Germany. Customs wouldn't let it in, but sweets I've never had any issue with.

    I wonder if we should make some sort of list of what people have/don't have to make sure people don't get stuff they can buy themselves?? Or how would we go about that.

    That only lasted less then a month before all hell broke loose & the usa was forced to open towards foods as gifts only, which includes animal foods & treats, gum & spices.

    If I recall that was in Aug 2004... Unless things have changed since Nov 2005, as my postal buddies from work haven't said anything to me as of yet.. & they do tell me of stupid things that go on to keep me updated hehehe

    I'm sure Canada Post will have something on their website www.canadapost.ca

    I was told at Christmas by our local post office that most pre-packaged foods were fine to send to the States. I couldn't send anything homemade. Had to be commercially prepared food only. There were still some restrictions on pet foods as well. I can't recall the specifics but any pet food item will be stopped and opened by Customs. It may be passed, but it will greatly delay delivery. Lots of mushers up here are having a tough time getting into Alaska with their dog food right now.

    Well isn't that stupid. They promissed that homemade goods would never be affected, & if the ban was to happen, it would be on Comercial goods... Arg I wish they would stop jerking around. It was really hard telling customers that food was a no one day & that its ok the next.. now its a no again

    You do know why this is happing right?? They fear someone in Canada will send anthrax in food & kill americans I remember have a huge argument with 10 others (on my side) to canada post on how retarded this is... *kicks the usa customs guys again*
