| Shipping from Canada-is this normal policy? I'm trying to find a waterproof snowsuit for Gus. I've found a few but the one I really want has to be shipped from Canada. When I spoke to them they said in order to ship to the US they need my social security number. They are a legitimate company (Muttluks) but I don't feel safe giving it out. Has anyone ever done this?

| Thanks, that is what I thought. I really want that one so I was slightly tempted even though I know better. I needed to hear that it isn't necessary to give SS to ship here. I wonder why they insist on having it.

| NO thats weird. Is it supposed to be for wholesale purposes or anything? There should be no reason anyone would need that number to make a sale.

| Hi, I just selected a Canadian merchant from a random search and this is what is on their shipping info, so unless that lil ol' snowsuit is terribly expensive (like over $2,000 ), then you are not required to give out that info: Tax ID Number or SSN For orders being shipped into the USA, US Customs declarations now require an SSN (social security number) or IRS ID number for orders over $2000 US. If your order is under that amount, you do not need to provide either number when ordering. http://www.hortico.com/ordering/orderhelp.asp
