Ship to USA only?

I've bought and sold many items north of the border. And not had any problems. The key is this: I've always prepaid when I was purchasing something, and had them prepay me when they were purchasing from me. Some will argue this takes any control out of one party's hands, but I think a certain level of trust is already a necessity. I probably wouldn't do this with a high ticket item like an amp or something like that, but for cables etc. . . it's worked perfectly for me. Also, I think when a lot of folks mark 'usa only', they'd probably sell to Canada if you ask them to. Many don't think of Canada as 'foreign' territory.

Glad to hear someone else has had similar experiences to mine in selling outside our borders. I too have a 'collage' education, from Emory U. As much as I've tried, I just can't come up with a better way to put things than avguygeorge already has; he stated things quite eloquently. Would also like to state this: I have two very good Canadian friends who are nothing like mr. highend, so don't let him form your opinion of all Canadians.
