A lot of good equipment can be found for sale in Canada. I have not sold but have bought a few items in Canada
All successful except one disaster (seller failed to double box-required for insurance) taught me to discuss shipping with seller, ascertain their competence prior to purchase. Even OEM boxes need to be double boxed.
Twice I used UPS ’pack and ship’. Not the least costly, but if you want it ....
You tell Canada UPS (or domestic, works the same way) the size and weight, they give you an estimate, and ’expect’ your item to be dropped off in your name.
Seller, who says ’local pickup only’ simply drops off the item unpackaged to nearby ’pack and ship’ location (not all are). UPS gives you exact price, a bit more, a bit less. UPS is responsible for safe packaging, any damage, and all transactions are in your name, seller not involved.
NOTE: If seller includes insurance, it is for your benefit, but purchased in their name, and they must handle the claim, sooo even if box looks fine, take some phone photos upon arrival, and photos while unpacking layer by layer, to document any surprise problem within. Helped me with my disaster, which took time because seller had to make the claim with my documentation of his packing failure.
In that case, the insurance claim was denied (single box), so PayPal threatened to close seller’s account, and my credit card stopped payment and notified PayPal a fraud claim was pending. Got full refund.
That’s why I always advise: Get an Invoice for Goods (not friends and family); and Fund your PayPal account with your Credit Card with best protection.
OH YEAH, seller put or Canada UPS looked, declared the Vintage TT an 'Antique', said they don't insure antiques. Took the money, but denied on that basis regardless of poor packaging.
Check with insureer when buying Vintage.
