I've sent them an inquiry to see if they sell their stuff in the
Scottsdale/Phoenix area. Don't hold your breath though: I don't see
anything on their website to indicate that they operate *anywhere* in
the US. [Pause....] Oh crap! I just found their FAQ and there's a
question there about if Chapman's products are sold in the US and the
answer is a categorical "No, sorry". I guess you're going to have to
come up here to buy their products, unless you can figure out a way to
import them and keep them cold enough while in transit to survive the
trip....
