| I am considering a boycott.... |

of all US on-line shopping sites, especially after an unpleasant experience for this year's holiday shopping. I would really like to use Canadian sites for all my purchases, but I do not know the downside of making this decision. Are there things that I cannot buy due to customs or duty restrictions? I would mainly be purchasing clothing, electronic, herbs and vitamins, and maybe a little jewelry. Is this feasible?

| 3. All problems were with... |

Overstock.com...non delivery and a digital camera that exploded, and JC Penney for after Christmas delivery that should have arrived on 12/20. However, I really do not want to buy anything from red states, but it is nearly impossible.

| 2. Yes, what were your unpleasant experiences? I've never had trouble |

well, except for once several years ago and then the Discover Card fraud division picked up on it immediately.
I bought my mother's and sister's and best friend's presents online. I even bought my own present on eBay.
