-This store is the main distributor and vendor of OpenBSD products.
-The town of Milk River is located in southern Alberta minutes from
-the US border, and thus packages are shipped from the more convenient
-side of the US / Canada border (out of the town of Sweet Grass).
-Purchases can be made in the following ways:
-
-
-
- - Secure web purchase:
- International Order Site
- Note that credit cards are debited in Canadian dollars, so expect
- very slight fluctuations. The order site permits specifying
- alternative payment methods but since shipping costs depend on
- many factors either ask for a shipping quote in advance, or
- estimate the costs.
-
-
- - To just prepay without waiting for a formal quote:
-
-
- - Canada: first add the GST/HST, then add 10% of the value for shipping
- costs.
-
-
- USA: add 10% of the value for shipping costs.
-
-
- Other International: add 25%, except that for T-shirts or books, or
- mugs, which are fairly heavy relative to value, shipping costs for our
- standard AIRMAIL shipping costs may be 35%, 50% or more -- consider
- accepting the 60 days transit time for "slow boat" surface shipping, and
- then 25% will still work -- but request surface shipping explicitly in
- the comments if you do this. If the result is reasonably close, we will
- just accept it, or if wildly different we will either include a refund,
- or else we will request a bit more which can be paid later, but we won't
- delay shipping.
-
-
- - PayPal
- Payments may be sent to cshop@computershop.ca.
- Just place a web order, select payment method "pre-arranged" which
- also includes the possibility of "to be arranged",
- put a note in the comments section of the order that payment
- is being made by PayPal. If not already pre-paid we will send either
- a quote or a PayPal invoice. Please pay in US dollars.
-
-
-
- Bank Wire Transfer
- Wire transfers of Euro (equivalent) amounts within the Euro zone
- are very inexpensive or free. Just convert at the current market
- rate from CDN$ to calculate amount. For purchases from the Euro
- zone this is much easier than PayPal, and saves us the additional
- PayPal fees.
- Detailed bank-to-bank transfer instructions.
-
-
- Cost of bank wires outside the Euro zone are usually about $25 US
- or $25 Canadian, depending on destination bank and origin bank.
- We have to add these to the cost of the order, plus, there are
- costs at the sending end.
-
-
- Bitcoin
- Bitcoin is accepted. Specify in the comments of the order or let
- us know if you wish to use Bitcoin and we will send you a Bitcoin
- invoice for the final total, with an html button to submit payment.
- Bitcoin is very efficient for us, and saves credit card processing
- fees for the project. Note that Bitcoin transactions are public,
- and not intended to be private as some people seem to misunderstand.
-
-
-

-
- Please phone during weekdays, during the daytime, in North American
- Mountain Time. (Occasionally service is available after hours: 5PM-9PM
- weeknights and 10AM-9PM weekends. You can give it a try.) Have
- Mastercard, VISA, or American Express ready.

- Postage will vary depending on your location relative to the shipping
- address. Generally we will use our best judgment for class of service. For
- some classes of service, where postal insurance is not available, or is
- insufficient, we may add a few percent of the value of the package so that
- on average we can cover replacement value for loss or damage, and include
- that in our shipping cost computation. This percent will vary according to
- our experience with different countries.
-
-
Special instructions should be specified in the comments of the order.
-
-
Tracking number and insurance is included for virtually all shipments
-to the USA, and for shipments outside the USA and Canada which weigh more
-than 2 Kg. For smaller international packages, tracking is usually not
-available unless very expensive classes of shipping are requested, which
-usually cost more than the value of the goods, so we don't recommend
-specifying them. In any case your package will be insured either by us or
-postal insurance.
-
-
From Canada to Canada, packages larger than 1 CD set are sent via Expedited
-Parcel by default. Tracking number notification is included in the postage
-cost. Insurance is included. Empress post, includes insurance up to $100
-CDN.
-
-Packages will generally be mailed either from Milk River, Alberta,
-Canada, or Sweet Grass, Montana. Typical AIRMAIL postage rates
-for quantity one, of just the CD set, are roughly:
-
-
- - Canada $4 CDN. Expect 7 days. (Letter Class)
-
- USA $4 CDN. Expect 7 days. (First Class)
-
- World $11 CDN. Expect two weeks. (Small Packet)
-
-
-
-Note: Transit time estimates do not take into account the fact that
-shipping backlogs during the first month after a new release may require an
-extra one to two weeks before the package hits the mail. During the rest
-of the year turn-around is typically a few days.
-
-Typical cost for Express Post for a single CD set:
-
-
-
- - Canada $11 CDN. Expect 2 - 3 days.
-
- USA N/A Ask for either Priority Post $6 (3-5 days), or Express Mail
- $18 (1-3 days).
-
- World $52 CDN. Expect 5-8 days. Not available to every country.
-
-
-
-To have the CD to come very quickly, choose a courier or similar service
-provided from the post office.
-
-
-
- - For Canada we recommend Purolator.
-
-
- For the USA we recommend US postal "EXPRESS MAIL" service, or
- secondly UPS.
-
-
- For international courier we recommend DHL or UPS. FEDEX is no
- longer available as they do not serve Milk River, Alberta, our Canadian
- shipping location.
-
-
-
-For courier service or equivalent 1 to 2 day service from the post
-office, you very likely do NOT want to use the Internet web ordering
-system, but rather want to order by phoning the Computer Shop. If phoning
-before 11 AM Mountain Time, you can sometimes have it by early the next
-morning! See phone ordering (above).
-
-
If ordering the release CDs plus other items, consider having only the CD
-sent by the faster methods and other things by regular airmail or even by
-surface. T-shirts, and especially posters, are quite expensive to send by
-fast methods relative to their value. Sometimes, particularly for posters,
-we will guess that this is what is wanted. Say in the comments if you
-really want all items, even posters, sent by Airmail or Express or courier
-methods.
-
-
For Canada, and USA only, one may specify "use credit card" in the box
-where it says courier account number. In that case we will pass on
-the credit card number to the courier company. There will be a separate
-debit from them (for the shipping portion only). But we prefer if you do
-have a courier account number already. If requesting shipping to a company
-address, ask if they have one that can be used (or phone DHL or UPS, for
-example, and ask what it is).
-
-
-UPS, Purolator, DHL, or Postal courier shipping rates for quantity 1
-are roughly:
-
-
- - Canada $25 CDN. Sometimes overnight if phoned in before 2 PM MST.
-
- USA $25 USD -- Overnight (to some cities) if phoned in before
- 11 AM MST. May depend if we are making a border run that day.
-
- World $65 USD -- 2 to 4 day service. Must have courier
- account #. If necessary, apply for one or, otherwise, use insured
- AIR MAIL post for the closest equivalent. Express post, trackable
- and insured, is available for some countries, a bit less expensive
- and almost as good.
-
-
-
-Partial shipments: Sometimes a T-shirt of a certain size might not be
-in stock. We will sometimes not send final partial shipments by Express
-Post or courier even when Express Post or courier is specified on the order
-form. Give specific instructions in the comments of the order if wanting to
-override this possible judgement call on our part.
