When I ordered (Before the shipping charges) just after s@h went South the cost
difference was about $14. s@h credited me the difference but I don't think I could
get that now.
With the added shipping now (~$9 CDN) it's not worth it for small orders. I used to
play ~70CDN a month. Not anymore. Now it's a large order or piggy backing on
friends orders. (They piggy back on me)
