Shipping and duties

The mercantile actions across the border from Canada into the USA continue to have friction.

In the past I have had limited challenges with sending my toys into the USA, now things have certainly changed.

In order to ship to USA you must first use an app to pay the duties, obtain a QR code to share with Canada Post (or any other shipper) to prove the duties have been paid.

I managed to get this all done for a BOPPERS shipment I have put out today.

I was incentivized by new information from Bob Murch Pulp Figures, that he put out this morning.

RIVETS BOPPERs

Offering for sale NOW:

Reproductions of the Martian Metals BOPPERs for Metagaming's Microgame #5: RIVETS

The tragic fire in Martian Metals destroyed all the original molds and the company did not return after the fire.

Metagaming originator Howard Thompson had abandoned the intellectual property in 1983.

From these moves, now 30 years later, I have taken up the torch of exposing more game players to the great game title, RIVETS.

To that end I have some castings of the BOPPERs for sale. Each set is priced at $8.00 U.S. funds.
Shipping is in a new box, at a flat rate of $22.00 U.S. funds to anywhere in North America.
Shipping to other world destinations, please contact: viperbbb@gmail.com for a quote.
