I've never had anything ship from Canada before, do you know off the top of your head of the going rate for a tub? Not going to quote you but just for future reference.

**Malaspina** · 03-01-2011, 02:01 PM

Shipping to the US usually starts at $15.50 up to $40 in purchases so I always recommend buying a couple of items to make it worth the shipping for you.

Thank you for asking.....

Cheers

Any deals on shipping in canada. I am in manitoba and saw $12.50 for CP shipping. That seems a little high. Is it a flat rate?

That seems right lol Im in saskatchewan and sent something to manitoba ot was $11

Hi there Mo5-0,

We don't have flat rate shipping available to us. It is based on a minimum size box of 4" x 4" x 4" and up to 450 gr. As the size gets bigger and heavier my cost goes up. I don't charge a handling fee for any product either.

When you order more than one item, then the shipping becomes a better deal. If you like you can PM with what you would like as well as your address and I can send you an exact quote.

Thank you for your inquiry....

Cheers

Sounds good, I will talk to the guys at work and see what we can figure out.

**brucered** · 03-04-2011, 05:55 PM

well, i finally got around to trying one of my samples "salish sunshing"....

HOLY CRAP! that stuff is AWESOME. lathered up in my bowl like crazy, smelled like a smoothie and gave me a great shave.

very nice product. i think i have one more sample to try "bay rum", can't wait.

thanks again for the sample

One week today is our Dragon's Den audition. We will be showcasing our Gentleman's Corner product line as well as introducing our entire business structure which is based on the belief of Balancing Nature & Science to Create Products that Nurture as well as a strong commitment to customer service. Should we get accepted we will be taping in Toronto in May/June at some point.

**mretzloff** · 03-09-2011, 03:58 PM

Linda, do you know if that show can be watched online? I would be interested to see your episode if you make it. Good luck!

Hi Bruce,

Yup the Dog-Gone Shampoo was developed for my 3 dogs, 1 of which is a digger and I've had to bath her three times in one day. That's a picture of her on the Doggie Diva Corner page and my groomer uses it for her clients that have sensitive or allergic coats. It's also easier to wash their bellies with a bar shampoo than liquid which just runs through your fingers....

Hi Matthew,

I believe you can at least watch the previous episode through the CBC website. IF I get through and actually end up in one of the shows, I will let everyone here know and then let you know once the segment is available on the website.

Thank you.....

It's one of my and SWMBO's few shows that we watch.

Good Luck!

**Malaspina** · 03-16-2011, 12:59 PM

Thank you for the good wishes. I won't know until early April if I will be moving forward. It was an amazing experience with some very sounds business advice given. They also confirmed the direction I am taking my business to be the right on. I may be a tad early to be there as they would like to see more sales, so we'll see what happens. They did like the part of the pitch I want to do at taping with the shave.....

So we'll see - truly worth doing even if I don't get through this year... and they gave me a couple of leads of who to approach to carry my product line.

Cheers
