Still looking for Dreamfields in Canada. Anyone find any?

I did find this site. Low Carb Pasta | Low Carb Noodles | Dreamfields Pasta | Shirataki Noodles They have a couple of stores in Toronto. Anyone buy from there? I'd like a good recommendation first.

Wow - I just finished the penne my friend brought me from the U.S. and was wondering if and how I could get it online from Canada. So I visited the site and decided to take a chance. But when I went to checkout I got this message

So I don't want to send my credit card information to them. I might e-mail them and find out more.

Ordered on line many times with no problem it was fast and good. I also bought their low carb bread and it was great. They may not ship you the bread because it is a perishable and may take to long to get to your location, you would have to read up on it.

We have Dreamfields at our local grocery chain. I have tried some and it is nit bad. My question is does it work as advertized.

No ship to Canada. It's unlikely anyone would ship food accross the border.

Yes it does, but your store is unlikely in Canada. No help to us

Dried pasta should be able to cross the border. I brought back some Epicure dip mixes with no trouble. I think it is only meat and fresh fruit and veggies that will cause trouble.

I e-mailed them and they sent me a screen shot of their security certificate issued by Network Solutions, so I am going to order a carton of the penne.

Amazon won't. I tried.

Over the past few years I've had lousy shipping service from the US. IF they do ship a product, they almost always want to use Fedex. But any private firm is subject to brokerage charges. Only US Postal Services doesn't charge a brokerage fee.

I once bought a $110 hockey stick from New Jersey and the shipping and taxes came to about $60. Still better than the $250 new up here though. I'm not paying that kind of premium again.
