our first sea lift container was delivered to our door today. it's so cute, i have to take a photo. a ply wood box, 1.24 cubic meters, 444 kg -- says so on the label. (craig, if you are reading this -- here you go. my personal '444'.) full of goodies from costco. raspberry jam. check. calamata olives. check. social tea cookies. check. 100 kg of flour. check. and other stuff too good to be true.
groceries: $ 822
personal shopper and packer in ottawa, 4 hours: $120
transportation from ottawa to the sea port in montreal: $150

still cheaper than bying locally or ordering via food mail -- priceless.
Wow! That's insane that it's still cheaper. I've looked up Iqaluit and have seen some pictures of the grocery store there, but they didn't show the prices.
ReplyDeleteHow long does it take for everything to happen this way? And how much food is in 444 kg? Will it last you most of the winter, or a few weeks?
