in Buy, Sell & Trade - Cards & Memorabilia
i havent sold a whole lot on ebay in a while but today i got a huge shock to learn that they no longer ship anything by boat only by plane to canada that is over 4 pounds i guess...i shipped out 3 items that were a little over 4 pounds and it cost me almost $30.00 to ship out 2 wax boxes...the other one was some small traded sets..so i spent about 60.00 to shipp around $40.00 worth of items..i way undercharged for shipping but its my fault for not knowing that...just thought id vent...imageimage

    actually that might explain why so much mail to Canada used to get lost...all those tankers filled with mail, fumbling around the Great Lakes...planes will surely improve things, although apparently it will be a bit more expensive.

    It was too time consuming to drag the boats across land.

    Your USPS guy probably thought Canada is either in Asia or Europeimage

    Maybe they heard that some Canadians speak french so they just assumed that it was a small town in France?
