The problem is that they are extra fees shipping to Canada and more paperwork to fill out. Going to the post office here in the States and saying that you want to send something to Canada, boom! It's like you're trying to send something to Saddam himself. It's a pain. And here's the kicker. If the person in Canada refuses the shipment, you are likely to never receive your parcel back to you. Sent something in Jan 2000 and still trying to get it back. Luckily I won't lose much money. Refused parcels get put in a giant black hole and who knows what happens after that. The US post office had me fill out a form in Feb and said ok, they'll send it in. It's August now and no word at all from anyone yet. This is why people stay away from shipping to Canada.
Ship to USA only?
I'm new to the site and have yet not made any transactions. I've noticed that most sellers on the classifieds are only willing to ship within the US. I live in Toronto, Canada and I'm simply wondering if there are reasons most sellers are not willing to sell across the border. Are there problems with Canadian customs?
