Esc Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 so Canada is considered international? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 so Canada is considered international? Why wouldn't it be? I think that is funny when Canadians think they are part of the U.S. You guys still live in a different country, eh? Seriously though, the items are already all packaged up in a Priority Mail box and that cannot be sent to Canada so this is U.S. only.

Sure I have, you've received such packages from me before IIRC. But it costs time and money to do that. Not everybody is willing to do that.

SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 wrapping things in brown paper scares me. Think about it, if that paper gets a rip and somehow gets torn off, then what? Even if the postal service wanted to figure it out (which they wouldn't) they couldn't! There would be no address because it would either be written on or taped on the brown paper that is who knows wear. I guess if you taped the hell out of it, that might work.

Esc Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Ok thats a good enough excuse for me. I just find it funny how many American eBay'ers won't ship to Canada because they think they are shipping overseas and its going to cost $50 a lbs. (or should I say Kg.) or they think they have to fill in forms in triplicate, talk to a customs agent and be subject to a strip search at the Post Office. Ok the triplicate forms may be true, but I don't think the strip search happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can revese the box backward, so that way not noticed "Priority mail" I show you two pictures (before and after) What about the USPS printed over and over on the box. My local post office employees would laugh at me and throw that package right back in my face if I tried that scam. Why do you think they print the "USPS" on the reverse......nope, they don't like that. That would actually be a good way to have your package "lost in the mail" or possibly screwed with my customs. I don't recommend that at all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I had to sign an agreement when I got the last large batch of boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
