Then I saw it but it was in French, I was'nt sure if it was Chess Assistant, as I was'nt paying much attention since it was French. I said a week ago, now I think about it, it was probably three weeks as at that time I was looking at downloading CA and the Tiger eng and posted something like that here. They had less chess software there than I have seen there in a long long time. Peter could naturally try email but believe me he can get it much cheaper in the US even at $1.50 exchange. I only buy there when I want something really bad. I have in the past bought Rebel products from them....Rebel 10 I got there, and typically if they don't have whatever you want they would say "hold on I'll call the Montreal office" as they normally stock more....but as I said the guy was new would'nt surprise me if he did'nt know they had a Montreal Office. Whenever in the past I have ordered software from the US it just comes regular surface mail. I live in a house and in newer sub division in Greater Toronto, they have the big mail boxes that you pick up mail from. The software usually comes in like an envelope so is just a little bigger than regular mail size. Maybe that's the problem, wherever he is trying to buy it are shipping the box with it LOL. Anyway to cut a long story as short as possible. The ONLY time I was ever charged duty (GST) on anything I bought south of the border was about 10 years ago I bought a chess computer, it had a sensory board don't remember what it was but I had to go to the post office to pick it up (size?) and had to pay duty. But now 10 years later with GST and duties coming off of almost all products I doubt that duty on something like this even exists. If it does don't tell Revenue Canada on me :-) Thanks.
