Great service from Island Buttons in Nova Scotia

Last year while geocaching I came upon a cool piece of swag - a 1" geocaching button. I really like 1" buttons and I was especially pleased to get a gc-related button. On the back of the button was the companies web address: islandbuttons.com

I had a look at their website and was pleasantly surprised to see that Island Buttons is a Canadian business.

I don't usually order online because shipping fees are so expensive, especially from the United States and then there's the problem of possible customs charges and delays. So I again I was happy to deal with a Canadian business. The shipping charges were very reasonable. For just under $50 (shipping, taxes, button prices) I received 100 1" buttons, 3 different designs. All geocaching-related.

Here's what they look like:

I ordered them on March 21, they were shipped on March 28, and I got them today March 31st. I'm very happy with the quick service.

Lamp post caches (LPCs) are for disabled people and they should be grateful

(oakenwood @ Mar 16 2010, 08:59 AM) Which brings me to the topic of disabled cachers. Some folks are going to have a hard time going after caches that are hard to reach, but will be glad there are so many lamp post caches. One man's meat is another man's poison. Because cripples like uninspired hides? As an ole fat cripple myself, I resent the implication that lame hides should be appreciated by the mobility impaired. A cache can be both wheelchair accessible and creative. Shoving a film can under a lamp post kilt is an utter void of creativity. I know there are some who claim that they thought the first lamp post hide they found was clever, but even if that's true, the second one they find would surely lack even that little bit of luster. A whole series? Tedium. Don't hide lame caches, then claim that you are doing cripples a favor. Us cripples appreciate creativity as much as anybody.
