[78-L] high cost of shipping to USA from rest of world

[David Lennick]

I used to be able to do that when ordering records from English sellers by 
having them shipped to Living Era's offices, where they'd then go with the next 
shipment to Canada. It still involved a fair time lag and my driving to the 
Canadian distributor north of Toronto once the items had arrived, but it saved 
a lot of money. Then was then (and that was a favour, and Living Era no longer 
exists).
