I placed an order for several grey brick packs(1) shortly after S@H Canada
closed down. I did the math when my order got there, and the difference in
cost, compared to what it would have been before S@H moved was literally

I've got another order coming in the next couple days. I'll do the math
again, and see how it works out.
YMMV.
