    Shipping Question

    Is there anybody near the Canadian border, perhaps Buffalo that would let me ship live stock to their address as swf.com does not ship to Canada. I live in Toronto and frequently spend time in St.Catherines. All I would need is for you to accept the delivery and arrange for a p/u time.
