Longshot but is anyone here in Wellesley, MA?

<p>I have a favor to ask for a friend whose mom is very ill. She wants to locate one of her mom’s favorite foods, of all time, as a surprise and apparently it can only be purchased in Wellesley, MA at Wasik’s Cheese Shop. It’s called Wasik’s Yankee Chutney and she’s been unable to find it online. If anyone out there would be willing to help, I’d be so appreciative! PM or email me. Thanks!</p>

<p>CC is amazing. </p>

<p>Thoughts to your friend’s mom, AlwayAMom. </p>

<p>I hope this brings good cheer.</p>

So is Google.</p>

<p>Thank you for those who were helpful. I spoke to someone at WallyWine and they are checking into whether or not they can ship to Canada. </p>

<p>To those of you who felt the need to make the Google comment. I, and my friend, had both checked Google, and obviously I had the name, address, and phone number of the actual shop. Wasik’s itself does not ship, and the others which we had already tried, do not ship to Canada. So, thank you for jumping to conclusions. No good deed goes unpunished, I suppose.</p>

<p>Come on all you folks out there on the internets doesn’t somebody live close enough to go buy the stuff for her?</p>

<p>From Wallywine’s website

I would be surprised if you had trouble getting it shipped to Canada. I don’t recall any problem ordering things from the US when we lived in Vancouver – do you ever run into problems?</p>

<p>sjmom, I spoke to a very nice young man at WallyWine, and interestingly enough, he is friends with the Wasiks and is the reason that WallyWine is selling their products. He is checking to see what the situation is for shipping to Canada and what the charges are. I hope to hear from him today. While most U.S. companies now have no problem shipping to Canada, there are still a few which won’t do it! </p>

<p>In any case, a very kind CCer has generously offered to get the chutney for me if WallyWine doesn’t work out. :)</p>

<p>When I said CC is amazing, it is because here we are on a college site of all things, and within minutes of AlwaysAMom’s request, people were trying to help and locate things…be it through google or any other method. In fact, apparently someone has offered to get the item for AlwaysAMom. THAT is what I meant. I don’t even care if the help was just by researching something for her. She obviously had done some research herself and was asking if anyone else knew anything or could obtain the product for her. The helpfulness is what I was commenting on. You know, on CC, there are hundreds of threads asking questions that are easily researched. People are asking for advice or help and in some cases, it is easy to find and in other cases, they are seeing if anyone knows anything or can help in some capacity that is not as easily obtainable. In this case, the OP wanted to see if anyone might be in the Wellesley area who could do her a favor. That question is not googable. However, if someone found some information that she had not, I think that is pretty much what happens on MANY CC threads! So, thanks to those who are so willing to help strangers!</p>

<p>On the way home from work today, I stopped at the local grocery store (I don’t live in Wellesley) to buy some chicken for dinner. While standing at the butcher counter, I decided to look at the condiments shelf less than two feet from where I was. There on the top shelf was several jars of Wasik’s Yankee Chutney for $7.49 each. No google involved.</p>
