need some help from someone from Canada
Hi,i have a offer on my exomax in the f/s section and the guy wants it shipped CAD shipping. Can someone explain how and what CAD shipping is? Im lost! Thanks in advance! Mark

Your buyer needs to brush up on his communication skills.
Ask him if he means that he wants you to ship by postal service. The courier services charge a brokerage fee for bringing an item across the border, but the United States Postal Service doesn't (or at least for a much reduced charge).

As far as I know, CAD just stands for Canadian dollars. As in Canadian funds.
The postal service should do a pretty good job as would a courier srevice. dan't know much about them, but give 'em a call and ask.

Couriers into Canada are expensive, looking at anywhere from $35.00 and up for brokerage on top of delivery charges. United States Parcel Service(USPS) is the easiest and least expensive. I bring in everything from cigars to bike parts and have had no issues with USPS.

Re: need some help from someone from Canada
Haven't shipped anything north for a few years, but I mailed out a deer call to Ontario this morning. Least expensive option for it was an International Priority Mail flat rate box. About double what it cost a few years ago to ship a call, but still somewhat reasonable @ $12.95 and I was able to print the postage and customs form on one label and do it online.
Get the buyer's address, weigh/measure your package, and you can go online and calculate shipping cost on USPS web site - http://ircalc.usps.com/?country=10054

And insure it heavily!
I mailed one to Canada several years ago and it got lost for a couple months. USPS said they gave it to Canada Post and Canada Post said they never received it.
I finally filled out the required paperwork for an insurance claim (they have to run a "trace" on it first) and it showed up on the recipient's door step the next day.

Did he mean COD (cash on delivery)
If so I would advise against it have him send a MO or cheque

Thanks for clarifying guys.I think he means COD too! Guy emailed me his shipping address to send it and was suppose to call me two days ago and still have'nt heard from him!! LOL, i wasn't born yesterday!! Maybe he changed his mind? or he has his fingers crossed for a free Exomax!! Thanks again!

Re: need some help from someone from Canada
COD is pretty secure. The post office isn't going to let him have his package without payment. But I imagine the fees involved make it one of the more undesirable ways to ship.
