Ship to USA only?

I'm in Montreal, and no, there is no problems with customs. I've bought and sold all kinds of gear without any problems at all, so if there's anyone unwilling to sell to Canada, it's likely a case of being unfamiliar with how easy it really is. Happy listening, Jeff

The problem is that they are extra fees shipping to Canada and more paperwork to fill out. Going to the post office here in the States and saying that you want to send something to Canada, boom! It's like you're trying to send something to Saddam himself. It's a pain. And here's the kicker. If the person in Canada refuses the shipment, you are likely to never receive your parcel back to you. Sent something in Jan 2000 and still trying to get it back. Luckily I won't lose much money. Refused parcels get put in a giant black hole and who knows what happens after that. The US post office had me fill out a form in Feb and said ok, they'll send it in. It's August now and no word at all from anyone yet. This is why people stay away from shipping to Canada.

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.
