Last time I bought item from S@H Canada, the person asked me if I had the
latest catalog with me, because my I.D. number was printed at the back. With
that number, she found all my previous order, my address and the number of
all credit card I used there. For the rate issue, I think it depend when
S@H process your order, but I dont think a difference of 0.05% make a big hole
in your budget.;-)
