A few Walmart stores have the Walmart version of the 8811 (IIRC that is the 8810). There is ZERO functional difference between the Walmart version and the non Walmart version, so if you find one it is probably a good buy. I have no idea whether Bellingham WA even has a Walmart.
You didn't mention your level of skill at soldering. If you're real good at soldering and know where to buy or salvage an eeprom chip you might consider modifying a 6012. It is a smaller non learning version of the 8811 (fewer buttons, which may be annoying, but more convenient overall size, so some people prefer it). It runs the same extender as the 8811. I think the Canada version of the 6012 is the 6017, but I have no idea where it's sold. Most US Walmart stores have the 6012 (but remember you need to solder on an eeprom, a connector and a jumper to make it into a JP1 capable remote).
