If you are not yet a member of the canadian forum go to yur user cp, scroll down to group memberships and request to be added.

There are huge amounts of paperwork for both countries required to ship tarantulas between countries. We have several dealers in Canada that offer the same great selection that our american counterparts do.

Maybe they can ship to someone really near the border and that person can drive them through the border to the nearest post office and send it. ;)

Please don't do this. The last thing our hobby needs is someone getting busted for smuggling spiders across the border. Like sheri has said, there are plenty of canadian dealers who can get in anything that american dealers can.

It doesn't do anything. It gives you access to the Canadian only forum. There you can find Canadian dealers, or ask questions from other Canadians. That kind of thing. You will find the Canadian forum right above the Tarantula discussion forum.:)

This would be considered smuggling and any further suggestions of such will be deleted. The only reason this post has not been deleted was that this acts a reminder that promoting, suggesting or discussing (other than theoretical discussions on the topic) are not allowed.
