McMaster-carr

I ordered a check valve from McMaster-carr and got this lame response.

Ron,

Thank you for your order. Unfortunately, due to the ever-increasing complexity of U.S. Export regulations, McMaster-Carr can only process orders from a few long-established customers in Canada. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this causes you.

Please be assured that your credit card has not been charged.

Bruce
McMaster-Carr.

Seems like their web site would except my address in Canada....it must be hard shipping a small check valve across the border....

I've heard them all.....

Sorry to vent..

Ron

If you can't get it locally just have it shipped to someone in the US who can forward it along.

I think it might be Canadian import laws more than US export laws.
I rarely export to Canada for this reason.
