I just tried that "800" number but it doesn't work from Canada.
Can you send me more information so that I can get a catalog and
try to order reeds?

In Toronto,
I pay anywhere from $25 to $31 CDN (approx $19 to $24 US) for a box
of 10 Vandoren V12. About $17 CDN ($13 US) for 5 Hemke Tenor Sax reeds.
I would be curious to see if, between shipping costs, exchange
rates, and anything the government decides to add on at the border,
would still make it worth my while to mail-order from the U.S.

THANKS!
