Hi Stuart.

Thanks for that. I'll be opening a "mailbox" receiving service in
Blaine and/or Pt. Roberts regardless, but figured if I actually get my
bus put back together in time, I'd head to a Wet Westie event, pick up
fridge at nearest FedEx city, install it.

No problem getting back across with that fridge after 48 hours. $800
duty exemption!

Neil.
