[LargeFormat] mail order reccomendations?

[Brock Nanson]

Joe,

I'd say that your first prerequisite for mail order is to find one north 
of the border.  The last package I received from the states took almost 4 
weeks to arrive (held up at the border).  That was before the Iraq 'thing' 
got started.

Have a look for Beau Photo in Vancouver.  They stock a good variety of 
paper and film and have been good about sending packages to me.  Prices 
are good and they are reputable (they are a small storefront servicing 
pros).  I don't have the contact info with me at the moment, but if you 
think they are worth contacting, let me know off list and I'll dig up the 
info for you.

Brock
