Thanks for that 'spur' to follow-up.
I checked back in my emails and you are correct- Glu-stix will ship to Canada via USPS - $48 USD to ship a 5 lb box of sticks.
So I should get an order together at some point, though the shipping cost ($65CAD) is pretty painful.
I also need to search back here (in past forum posts) to get your recommendation for a good gun (not battery operated). You answered my questions a while back, but I didn't act on your suggestions right away, and the task dropped off my 'to do' list here.

BTW, it's very very common for US companies to not ship to Canada at all, or to charge very high shipping fees..I think the sales volume isn't considered worth the trouble.....so much for 'free trade'...

That is rude.

Perhaps you should try ordering again. I gave the link to the glue sticks in the previous post.
5 pounds of glue sticks with shipping would cost me about $56.

Perhaps this may offer a source for you - http://www.thomasnet.com/ontario/hot-melt-adhesives-460626-1.html
