Full details on stores to order OpenBSD from

• Worldwide
  The main place for ordering CDROMs is via the Computer Shop of Calgary (who, until recently, were the oldest continuously operating computer store in the world, although now they are only virtual). They ship from either side of the US / Canada border due to their location in a small town near the border. Make purchases in the following ways:
  • Web credit card ordering: SECURE Web Ordering Form.
    Note that credit cards are debited in Canadian dollars. Exchange rate in 2009, between US and Canadian dollars, is close to 1.25:1
    A few credit card companies take an extra percent or so for foreign transactions. Use the card with the best policies in this regard. In any case there will generally be some small fluctuations in the total that appears on your credit card statement, and it is not possible to predict the total to the absolute penny if your card is denominated in US dollars or some other currency.

  • Other payment methods:
    Shipping costs depend on many factors, so if pre-paying, either ask for a shipping quote in advance, or to save time estimate the costs. To Canada first add the GST/HST, then for US or Canada add 10% for shipping, or for other countries add 20%. 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", and put a note in the comments section of the order that payment is being made by PayPal. Pay in either US dollars, Canadian dollars or Euros.

    • 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.

  • Telephone ordering:
    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.
    
    • office: 1 403 647-2200 (takes faxes too, but no messages)
    • cell: 1 403 243-4356 (also takes messages)
    • iPhone: 1 503 799-0314 (new! USA number)
    To contact the Computer Shop directly, email to austin@ either computershop.ca or openbsd.org. Major Institutions can fax purchase orders to the Computer Shop at FAX #: 1 (403) 647-2200.

  • Mail order:
    Cost, including ordinary postage, for just one CD set, version 4.x, is:
    • Outside USA/Canada: $58 CDN or $50 US
    • To USA: $50 US
    • To Canada: $55.65 CDN, incl. GST, or $59.89 incl. HST

    Contact us for cost of insurance, registration or other shipping methods, or for cost of shipping larger orders. Personal cheques or money orders may be sent in either US, Euro or Canadian currencies to:

    Mailing address Computer Shop of Calgary LTD. Box 267 Milk River, Alberta, Canada T0K 1M0

    Physical address (couriers only) Computer Shop of Calgary LTD. 104 1st Avenue NW Milk River, Alberta Canada T0K 1M0

    US mailing address Computer Shop of Calgary LTD Box 28 Sweet Grass, MT 59484 USA

  Postage will vary depending on your location relative to the shipping address. Special instructions should be specified in the comments of the order. By default we ship as follows: Shipments of single CD sets to USA, Canada, or any other country will be sent by FIRST CLASS (Air)mail.

  Tracking number notification and insurance cost for single CD's sent to the USA is free and included in the original cost of postage.

  For Canada FIRST CLASS insurance is $5 CDN. This insurance may be paid either at time of order (you must so specify in the comment section of the order), or, at the rate of $6 CDN, it may be paid after it is found that the item has gone missing, and upon requesting the replacement. Unfortunately, unlike the USA, there is no tracking number service available for FIRST CLASS packets in Canada. For tracking number notification in Canada, one must go to a more expensive class of mail called Express Post.

  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 at the cost of $1.20 CDN / $100 CDN. If you specify not to insure, in the comments section of the order, we only cover 1/2 the cost of the package, and you have to pick up the other 1/2, if something goes missing in the mail. Express post, if specified explicitly, includes insurance up to $100 CDN.

  To the USA, packages larger than 1 CD set, not including T-shirts, are sent by media mail from Sweet Grass, Montana. Such shipments include tracking number notification. We include a bit extra shipping cost so we ourselves can cover loss or damage to the goods in the mail, given that regular mail insurance is not available for this class of mail. We ask you to pay only the re-shipment shipping cost in such cases.

  Still, to the USA, where there are T-shirts in the package, due to overly complex customs documentation (complain to the lobbyists for the garment makers unions), packages containing T-shirts have to be sent by mail from Canada. Less than 1 kg (2.2 lbs) they are sent by "small packet" AIRMAIL. There is no tracking on this service, but there is up to $100 CDN insurance included in the price of postage (which varies by weight and destination state). Additional insurance for "small packet" is not available. For packages weighing more than 1 kg, by default we use "Expedited Parcel", tracking number notification is included, and we include insurance in the cost of the shipping, unless told not to. For any insurance shortfall, we only cover 1/2 the cost, and you have to cover the other 1/2. If in doubt, (as the above is fairly complex to understand), specify "FULL INSURANCE" in the comment section of the order. In that case, we will find a fully insured way to ship.

  To the USA, Canada and certain other countries, Express Post service (which becomes Priority Post once in the USA) is always available. If we use Express Post (US Priority Post), where we can ship from within the USA (no T-shirts), then we will always insure for full value, and include the cost in the original postage, unless told not to. In the latter case we only cover 1/2 of any loss. There is special option for Express Post for USA or Canadian orders on the web order form. You only have to select it. We may soon turn that on for other countries, but will use our best shipping judgement (registered parcel with insurance) where Express Post is not available. Countries with unreliable postal administration, Mexico, for example, are not eligible for insurance for any class of parcel except "small packet". We may break the order into chunks of less than 2 kg if necessary to get insurance. Small packets to non-USA countries may be up to 2 kg.

  In USA/Canada less than 1% of items go missing in the mail; however, who knows, it might be yours. But if you absolutely can't stand risk, do by all means specify FULL INSURANCE in the comments area of the order form on the web. We will then make sure we ship in a fully insured way, and add any necessary costs to the postage.

  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 $3 CDN. Expect 7 days. (Letter Class)
  • USA $4 USD. Expect 7 days. (First Class)
  • World $9 USD. Expect two weeks. (Small Packet)

  For other items or combination shipments, the shipping costs are too complex to show here, but trust us, we keep shipping costs down as much as possible. If it's a major concern, email us. 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 (becomes Priority Post in the USA) for a single CD set:

  • Canada $7 CDN. Expect 2 - 3 days.
  • USA $10 USD. Expect 4 - 6 days.
  • World $35 USD. 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. This usually excludes shipping T-shirts however, since they are effectively blocked at the border by excessive customs paperwork requirements.
  • For international we recommend DHL. FEDEX is no longer available except for non T-shirt orders, and never to Canada, as they do not serve Milk River, Alberta, our Canadian shipping location. We can access FEDEX for non T-shirt orders, shipping from Sweet Grass, Montana, USA.

  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 often have it by early the next morning! See phone ordering (above).

  If ordering the CD plus other items, consider having only the CD sent by courier and other things by regular airmail or express post. CDs are relatively inexpensive to send by courier (we class them as documents), whereas T-shirts, and especially posters, are quite expensive that way. 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 courier.

  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 $20 CDN. Sometimes overnight if phoned in before 2 PM MST.
  • USA $20 USD -- Overnight (to some cities) if phoned in before 11 AM MST. May depend if we are making a border run that day.
  • World $55 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.

• USA purchasing:

  Aside from the "OpenBSD direct" method of ordering (see top of page), the following online stores offer OpenBSD, and ship to anywhere in the USA:

  • Bookpool.com
  • Softpro Books (See also walk in location below) Orders received by 4 p.m. ship the same day. Latest OpenBSD Release

  The following locations may sell mail or web order, but also welcome walk in customers, (or can be contacted for pickup):

  Colorado:

  • In Denver: Softpro Books (info page)

  Massachusetts:

  • Wilmington - Quantum Books

  You can also contact your favorite book seller and give them the current ISBN number, and ask them to special order for you. In fact this is a good way to help increase channels of distribution for OpenBSD, since if they get a number of orders, it may encourage them to stock it regularly in the future.
