Where do people fish in and around in Stratford?

Just getting started and hoping find somewhere quiet to practice.

Hi all,

We run a (very) small business making children's teepees, cushions, floor mats, and various other hand sewn play kits or accessories.

The majority of online sales are to the US, and they have been for 10 years. We use Shopfy, Faire, and Etsy.

With the e-filing laws changing in the US, we're having a heck of a time trying to navigate the system to find:

1. What the actual requirements are.

2. How to get the product tested in a cost effective manner.

The quotes we've gotten back for testing are more than our sales this year.

The components of the teepees are:

Fabric (varies based on style/colour)

Four or five untreated poplar poles (we drill holes in them for rope)

Two grommets

6ft of 5mm rope

Thread from sewing.

My wife hand sews the entire fabric sections and the we assemble and ship.

All of the testing we can find is geared toward high volume toy sales. Ours is decided low volume, with sales of less than 100 units annually right now, and far less with the current US economic climate.

Has anyone been able to successfully navigate this?

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know the rules of the sub, so if the mods approve I'll put the company website in this post and/or in the comments.

All the (very violent) video of Knicks fans tearing apart Spurs fans is making me really pull for the Spurs now.

​

Knicks fans don't deserve this opportunity.

​

I hope Biyombo, Olynyk, and Champagnie hoist the Larry OB over the Knicks fanbase.
