[Coco] eBay MPI Heads Up

[Boisy Pitre]

Such a shame. It seems our Brazilian CoCo friends have come out en masse over the past few years. As a group, they are one of the most prolific and dedicated when it comes to the CoCo. I’m very impressed with these guys.

Still, I was in and out of the post office in minutes. You just have to fill out a customs form which isn't a big deal. With that said, shipping to Canada is easy peasy. There really should never be a reason to exclude Canada unless of course the package is prohibitively large or heavy.
