Call them and see if they can order it in for you.

Ship it to the border storage place in Montana and either pick it up or have spikers pick it up on one of his trips.

Im surprised with the size of your HELOC you wouldnt just buy a house in the US to ship it to, then pick it up.

Perhaps it's because COI in Calgary is their dealer and they have the rights to sell in Calgary. Google them and give them a call. Contemporary Office Furnishing on Portland road.

COI will order it for you in the colours you want. Also you can sit in one if you go to the showroom.

There's nothing wrong with these businesses.

No one else has a problem like this because they click the links on that website and find the authorized retailers and all the other answers they're looking for instead of making a thread to showcase their inability to navigate websites and understand how businesses operate.

But it goes well with the many leather-bound books and scent of rich mahogany.

Use myus. They give you a us shipping location. It ships to Florida and then they ship it up. If you can score free shipping to Florida, no biggy.

Shipping uses USPS, FedEx, etc.

U guys got any good recommendations for good officer chairs? these guys have good reviews.

I'll check out the portland place I guess, just didnt wanna be charged full retail for one of these.

Ok, fun's over.....

Try somewhere in Calgary that deals with Hon furniture. I wouldn't buy an office chair without trying a few out. A competent seller should be able to fit one to your physical needs.

After that, order it online if you need to.

I'm curious - will everyone who's been a bit of a dick in this thread be beating down on the next member who posts up such a thread because it will happen again?

Yeah, I know that InRich is a favorite whipping boy on these forums, but I would dare say that other won't get ttreated as bad even though they are just as deserving. One only has to watch some threads that are bumped and see that there is obviously a pecking order in place.

x2. What makes it even more ironic, is that the source of this beaten horse of a "joke", isn't even true.
Gets a little tiring.

A locally owned place would probably appreciate your monies a bit more than a faceless business out of country or across the pond and besides that, the few extra bucks you might spend here could very well get you a lot more after-sales support then you'll ever get otherwise - yeah, I know it's not the way of many beyond members but I truly believe monies spent locally benefit all of us in the long run.

The source of the joke is actually him getting scammed in a MLM heloc thing.

Then there's his classic doucheness like this that keeps people wanting to laugh at him. Continually selling yourself up to people wears thin.

You show the work you're proud of on here without being narcissistic, where as he just brags about himself. Even this thread reeks of him just bragging about the chair he wants to afford, because if he really was interested, it only takes 5 seconds of google to figure out how to get it here.

It's a chair... The only after-sales support he'll need will be when he realized how badly he was raped spending $1400 on something he'll sit leaning forward in anyway.

^ lol tik-toks so mad... I actually find it entertaining... the more they bash me, the more I laugh... its really why I come on beyond, the comedy.

As for the chair, I sit in my office all day long, esp now in the winter like 6 - 10 hours at least everyday, so I wanted something super good... its like a bed, why cheap out on something your in half your life.

Not even a little. Just stating the facts sir.

Rich, here's a totally different way you could go with this.
What about a standing desk? My desk at work is motorized, so it takes me about ten seconds to go from standing to sitting. So easy.
Standing is definetly much easier on my back. You need a soft mat to stand on so you aren't hurting your knees though. If you get tired of standing, lower the desk to sitting height for the last couple of hours a day.

No idea of the cost of those desks, but to me, that's worth more than a chair.

That's why, seriously, I recommend looking at some Hon stuff.

They're not junk and, like said, you need to go test drive a couple to really be happy with what you're getting. :thumbsup:

Just to be clear then, you agree that you have the jelly, and not me? No thanks though, blueberry is for housewives and little girls. Real men eat jalapeno.
