thats some expensive website
everything there is overpriced ive found
ill try to get it off ebay but only american sellers and not sure if they want to ship to canada

Just ask the seller to note that its a Gift with a value of 12.00, you should be fine.

You can if you want, but I doubt you need it. Collinite has been known to last a year in adverse conditions.
