As of July 7, 2026: Canada Post has suspended delivery to the following countries: Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Czech Rep, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Haiti, Iran, North Korea, Libya, Luxembourg, Portugal, Russia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, West Bank and Gaza Strip, and Yemen.

NOTE: I sent a $40 Cdn book to Denmark in June 2026. I paid $16.50 Cdn (which I charged to the customer) to get the package to PostNL in the Netherlands. The VAT & Handling Fee paid personally by the customer to receive the book was $43 Cdn. More than the value of the book. Plus they had to go pick it up.

We welcome special requests. Here's what we've got for sale:
