Hey, it was a good idea too. Sorry my friend, with all the wacky stuff that sometimes pops up here, it looked like it could be a fishy story as easily as it could be legitimate.
I'm in Canada, turns out I would not benefit from this as it costs too much to mail anything light weight and bulky in either direction over the border.
If your handle was "HonestEddie" maybe people would be more likely to jump in?
