While surfing today, I came across a website that sells Ross Chocolate bars.

The URL is: lowcarbdelights.com

$1.75 each though....

Excellent find Sharon! Is it 1.75 all included (tax/shipping/handling)?

I just checked their website. 1.75 without shipping or taxes. They ship by Purolator for $l.50. Has anyone tried them? Any good? Maybe I'll order some. Jen

I just added them to our Shopping/Online section. Who knows, after they succede their prices may become more competitive.

P.S. Sharon, thanks for submitting the Ontario distributor info, I added it to our Ontario list.

I just ordered a box of bars from Sweet Choice Distributing, $1.00 each, plus Canada Post. There are either 35 or 40 to a box though...I'm sharing mine with 3 other people, so if you know others, this is probably cheaper...BUT 1.50 for shipping isn't a bad deal either.

I misread the order form. $1.50 is for the handling charges, they say they ship by Purolator but don't specify the amount. I just e-mailed them for some clarification. Sorry to have mislead you. Jen

Yes, I also added Sweet Choice, too bad they don't have a web site. I've put them on the Ontario page. Do they ship to all Canada?

I sent them an email a few hours ago (to let them know we added them). No errors so far.

I would suspect handling charge is shipping charge? If no answer is received by email, we can call them up, it's a toll-free number

Question

Tamarian, did you get some info on whether Sweet Choice ships to all of Canada?

I'm seriously considering putting Ross Chocolates on the LC 'co-op' page, but would like some more background info.

Matter of fact, any members interested in Ross chocolates, please E me below or post to the Forum "LowCarb Co-op" section, and let me know what flavours you'd like most and whether or not you can get them anywhere near you at this time. It would be VERY much appreciated.

Thanks for your support!

I got the answering machine when I called, but the info I got says they use Canada Post, so they most likely ship to all Canada.

I think the web site, belongs to someone else in Ontario too http://www.lowcarbdelights.com
and they ship to all Canada as well.

Question

Didn't somebody say that the area code for Low Carb Delights was for the Thunder Bay area, same as Sweet Choice - isn't that the distributor in Thunder Bay? Am I getting totally confused?! If they're both in Thunder Bay, I would suspect that they are one and the same? Quite a co-incidence if not! I suppose it could be someone else in the area that is buying them from the distributor, then selling them online.

You're right Dierdre, I mistakenly thought 807 was a toll-free number. But the numbers are still different and the area code covers a wider region. In addition, the individuals' names are different (I had some email correspondence to get their logo to post in our online shopping section).

Question Website for drinks?

My computer was sick and was in the 'puter hospital. I have had to start fresh & reload everything. I've lost all my bookmarks though and there was one that I wanted to check on but can't remember the URL.

Does anyone remember the name of the company and it's website .... the one that makes LC drinks with Splenda? I think it's called Amazing Drinks or something. Their website was taking a bit of time to get up and running and I hadn't visited it.

Anyone remember it?

Hi Norma,

I think this is the one:

http://www.excitingdrinks.com

No longer under construction, but didn't see any sugar-free stuff.
