    Default Shipping stuff to Canada...

    I'm selling a tube amplifier and a fellow from Canada asked me if I would ship up there. Anything I should know about? Any help would be appreciated.
    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    Yes, there will be customs duties charged and if he doesn't pay them they may bill them back to the shipper if you use FDX, DHL, UPS. Shipping to Canada is a PITA, I'd make sure you use the USPS (they don't collect duties generally) or find a US buyer.

    Take lots of pics and video of amp working fine before shipping then get adequate insurance for it.

    DO NOT USE UPS. You'll pay through the (rear) for their brokerage fees.

    Is it a legitimate offer and not just another scammer? As for the USPS suggestion that they don't collect duties, you might want to read this first.

    Use USPS, insure it and you are good to go. I have never had a problem and have shipped numerous items.
