most of us here do paypal like that so theres no fees for the seller just like the buyer doesn't want fees when they get the item..and as far as not getting it or not sending it is why we really try to stay up on the feedback and not give to much trust to newer members till they get feedback...everyone thats been here for while pretty much knows each other and trys to look out for one other as much as we can..this site is growing so far so its goin to happen one or more times where someone gets fucked over we just hope its not a big one...and then that member will pretty much be watched by 100 ppl every step he makes lol..but no for real we try are best to keep everyone happy buyer and sellers..we are all here for the same thing we love gear and we want more..and to get more we have to sell some..no need to fuck the next person sorry if anyone got lost in that story hahah i aint a really good speller

Guarantee, I screw up customs papers on the first try every time. I always have to redo them.

The news did a story on something similar like this last night. Why are things like hockey gloves more expensive in Canada? 23.5% duty rate. 0% when importing into the USA.

Saw that too! Bottom line, it costs more in Canada because they are made over seas! Forget what term was used??

unless you send as a gift paypal still takes a fee. also if you keep the length of the box to 12 and under, and the width to 2 inches, you can get a stick for 10 or less to anywhere in the US.

Not really a comment on US Shipping, but I shipped a broken in half OPS to a neighboring province for just under $20. And all I did was wrap it in a garbage bag.

It's expensive as shit.

i just sent some gloves, and a blade to canada as gift, it works perfectly fine

Wondering if the amount I sent was too large. Funny thing it was to my friend in the US under his charity account.
Sorry for the wrong info . .

I've been on the buyers end from the US lots of fees I had to pay.
I think I posted a shipping calculator on page 1 that gives you all the fees
Incurred when shipping with several companies. You enter the amount , company , location.
Big help

pretty much all comes down to size weight.
if you put effort into finding/making the perfect size box for whatever youre shipping, it'll save you a lot of $$$

I ship about 30+ sticks a week and have a custom box made specifically for sticks. Box is 9x2x68 and most custom cardboard places can make or order these for you. I've never had a problem shipping sticks anywhere in the world using these boxes. Maybe its because my local USPS office is so use to seeing them that they never measure them anymore. I've run into a few stubborn USPS workers at other post offices that measure the boxes and want to charge me a "balloon" surcharge. I say no thank you I'll just bring them to my local PO and pay half the price. Print the labels at home and drop them off at your local PO, thats usually a safer way, most workers will see its already been paid for and just throw the box into the outgoing bin without even thinking twice.
