Members of the American Rhododendron Society in Canada:
Does ARSStore.org work in Canada?
Hilda Gerrits of the Cowichan Valley Chapter, Canada, asked an excellent question:
Does ARSStore.org work for Amazon in Canada too?
Yes and no. We have an "Amazon.ca ARS Store" for Canadians which works in Canada.
If you go to ARSStore.org and click on “Click for Canadian ARS Amazon” tab near the top, this will take you to http://arsstore.org/canada/. From there, to shop at Amazon.ca, click on “Direct Access to ARS Amazon.ca”. Then proceed as you would normally.
The “Direct Access to ARS Amazon.ca” link is:
http://www.amazon.ca/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=15121&creative=330641&linkCode=ur2&tag=arorca-20
where the “arorca-20” is the code that shows it is for the ARS. If you wish, you can bookmark* this link to make access easier and faster. [If you would like confirmation that your order did benefit the ARS, tell me what you bought and when, and I will check it out. manager@arsstore.org]
* To learn more about Bookmarks, go to http://arsstore.org/about1.php#anchorBOOKMARKS

Differences in ARSStore.org for Canadians
Canadian Email List. First, this is an ARSStore.org email list just for Canadians.
Amazon.ca. The Amazon store for Canada has the same program for the ARS as Amazon.com if you enter if you enter Amazon.co from a link on ARSStore.org/canada/ or from this Canadian email list.
Logo Embroidered Goods. These are available over the whole world. We have shipped to Canada and the UK. They are available in the Main Store.
Other Stores. I have no idea if the other parts of the store work in Canada. Please give me feedback if you try them.
AmazonSmile. Since it is based upon USA Tax Law, AmazonSmile probably is not in Canada. That is good, since it doesn't benefit the ARS.
Feedback. I apologize that most of the ARSStore.org information is aimed at the USA. Canadians form the fastest growing segment of ARS membership.You are now part of a Canadian email list for ARSStore.org. Please give me feedback on any problems I will work to solve them. Please give me feedback on any successes and I will share them. Remember, every purchase benefits the ARS at no cost to you. As with other non-profits, we are seeking new income streams so we don't have to raise dues. Please help out by remembering to use ARSStore.org/canada/. [Steve Henning, manager@arsstore.org]
