Another nail in the coffin.

Recieved an e-mail today from Tobacco Pipes that they are suspending international shipping. I can only think this is another step towards downsizing or discontinuing their business. It may leave SP with a monopoly for international sales.

As far as I know 4noggins still ships internationally too. Only one who'll ship to Aus, SP refuse to.

Haven't placed an order for a while as I don't need the strife if customs see it.

Thanks Timbo, I'll have to check them out.

I think...I THINK...someone asks about TP in that link I posted, and they said TP is being shut down in 2025. Don't hold me to that, but I think someone asked that in that 20+ page thread.

I have suspicions of it, considering they are not restocking many items and their online selections are more and more "sold out". To that end, I have seen no official release of any sort that indicated so. The writing on the wall is becoming more and more ominous. There is a possibility that their international service to Canada would be temporarily shut down with the national mail strike but there was no mention of that in the e-mail I received, only that international orders were being discontinued. Canada certainly isn't the only place they were mailing orders but I do not know where else they may have provided mail order service. The UK? Australia? Europe? Any insight would be welcome. I'm afraid perusing a 20 page battle of egos from Pipesmagazine Forum doesn't appeal to me. The arrogance and gossip on that sight led to my departure. I am under no illusions that their regulators were glad to see me go, not to mention the magazine owner.

Do any other Canadian members know of online sales distributors that mail to Canada? I have not enquired of 4Noggins yet but I do know P&C does not, I looked into that this past summer.
