    1st Geocache In Canada Event

    in Canada

    Posted

    Is there anyone from Moncton going to this event??

     

    Long story... but in a nutshell there are two new unactivated 2006 BC Geocoins in Moncton which we'd like to donate as door prizes. The cacher who has them has been unsucessful in finding anyone who's attending to give them to. His BC coins which he purchased didn't show up in the mail, so we sent out two more. In the end he got both orders. Rather than send them back to us, we thought we'd donate them to this event. Can anyone pick them up from Moncton and take them to NS?

     

    I posted this on the Moncton site and I guess there will be people heading down to the event! I hope they know who has the coins.

    Looks like a good crowd will be there!!!

     

    Rain or shine we will be there, especially with the big tents available!

     

    I will be putting up one of my personal geocoins for the cacher who travels the furthest to get here. Make sure you find us to sign the log book!!!

    Coins "lost" In The Mail

    I find that the shipping has slowed down into and out of the U.S.. We ship everything with Canada Post and find it seems to be taking a little longer to get out to the customer.

     

    For us in Canada to get a package to the U.S. with a tracking number and insurance the price starts at $10.00.

     

    This makes it very hard to sell to the U.S. so everything goes without tracking numbers.

     

    Even in Canada the price for tracking numbers and insurance is around $8.00 and up.

     

    Consider yourselves lucky that you can track things for under a dollar, it is well worth it!

    I've got those ones...I guess I'm looking for things to put in the caches as much as anything.

    I am glad to hear you are happy with the coin!

     

    We wanted it made and produced in Canada and the local company did an excellant job with it!

     

    I hope people are making plans to come down to the event and celebrate with us Atlantic Canadians!

    There is a self study group currently working towards the exam in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

     

    This is a new way HARC (Halifax Amateur Radio Club) is trying to get people licensed and into the hobby.

     

    We could use some experts to help us answer the questions that will come up.

     

    Everyone is welcome to drop by and take a look or post comments!

    Hi,

     

    I am very sorry for not posting an update for this.

     

    The coins have started shipping but we are still in the process.

    We had to go through all of the coins to verify the tracking numbers. When we first got them we noticed one was misprinted so verifing all 1000 coins put us a little behind.

     

    We have verified all numbers now and have started shipping as of Last week (April 14).

     

    Thank you for your patients.

     

    If you have any questions or concerns please drop us an email at orders@atlanticgeocaching.com

     

    Thank You,

    I Need A Database

    in Trackables

    Another Canadian looking for a database to track my coins!

     

    any word yet? I have never had any issues purchasing software from the US before?!?!

     

    We do it all of the time at work, but I guess if there is something in your code that shouldn't be sent out it is better to know before sending it out.

     

    I use the basic macros plus some routine VBA. I just have no legal experience in shipping software to non-US addresses for I've never had to do it before. Actually, I've never sent anything outside the US prior to shipping my first geocoin trades overseas. I know, I need to get out more. = )

     

    If someone could PM me some links to some good (legit) web sites for info that would be great.

     

    I don't have any links to any legal info but GSAK is available to us as well as Cachemate.

     

    The only thing that I have ever noticed that said cannot export out of the US also said Canada. It is usually encryption software or something like that.

     

    But I am not an expert at all so maybe someone else out there may know the answer!

     

    If anyone out there has a template or something that will help me track my coins I would be very interested!

     

    Thanks
