I think I should move to Ontario ... sure ain't like that here in BC !

It's like that here in Nova Scotia, too, which is the number one reason I'd never live in the United States.

 

I love that - our dollar is almost equal to or worth MORE than the US dollar yet the prices are still up to DOUBLE that of the US. Gotta love that free trade thingy, eh? LOL

I don't own a 2nd Gen so I'm not in the market for anything from this seller, but I've seen this often on E-Bay and now here and I always wonder WHY NOT?

 

Boxing it up would be the same price!

 

 

The Buyer usually has to pay the shipping (and deal with customs)...so what's the problem?

 

 

It is always preferred to use USPS instead of UPS or FedEx to avoid the outragous brokerage fees they charge to cross the border.

That means you have to pay the postage up front....but you can always have the buyer pay the cost before you ship.

 

So why do sellers DISCRIMINATE against us poor Cannucks?

(Did I just open the floodgates for a world of digs?)

 

I hate the no shipping to Canada thing too. Here is a solution: use a parcel forwarding service like http://www.webuyitforyou.com. It costs a little more, but what the heck, we are used to that, we are Canadian.

Istakoza,

That's what I posted weeks ago on this link (and last year too).

My daughter has a similar service, http://boxvoyage.com/

 

People can contact the one you suggest or Box Voyage, questions are free.

Earlier post:

 

I mentioned this last year, but it glossed over.

 

My daughter runs a small "package forwarding business" called "Box Voyage".

http://boxvoyage.com/

She picked up the business two years ago from my son who had lived in Sidney.

 

Yes it is a business so there are fees, but the idea is that you purchase your on-line item and have it shipped to her in the US (St. Mary's GA). Then they reship (repack or consolidate shipments if needed) to your non-USA address.

 

The basic premise is $13 fee for a single package plus actual shipping costs. You pay her through PayPal before she ships the package.

 

I think they (her and her sister-in-law) also do shopping for people but that's beyond me.

 

Anyhow, this is a possible answer for you who cannot get a US company to ship direct to you or want to really jack up S&H costs beyond reason.

 

Go to the website above and check it out, contact info is on the front page.

I can put this in the classifieds if someone wants?

 

If you have questions you can PM me and I will ask for you.

It still means we Canadians, AGAIN, pay MORE even though our dollar is almost par with the US dollar.

 

I'm glad these services exist and they are great but it still SUCKS that they HAVE to exist:mad:
