I've also supplied Hg cells (Varta PX625's) to our less-fortunate brothers and
sisters south of the Canada-U.S. border in the past, price of $5.95 Canadian
(about $4.04 U.S. at today's interbank exchange rate), plus shipping. However,
it's getting increasingly difficult for Canucks to send Mercury batteries to
the States -- U.S. customs is more leery, and may stop 'em at the border. If
Gary's offering, I'd suggest him first, since mailing interstate in the U.S. is
no problem.
