eBay seller fails geography.

Link

Item location: Lilburn, GA, United States

Q: Would it be possible for you to ship to Canada? I use Paypal Dec-30-07
A: Sorry, I don't ship overseas.

 

[Bateluer]

So he does ship to Canada then?

 

[Colt45]

ah georgia...

 

[steppinthrax]

I think he really meant he will only ship to the US 50 states. Or maybe the 48 contiguous states. He just had a poor choice of wording. Most people here in the states don't like dealing with anybody outside of the US with shipping. Shipping is usually higher (much higher) and once the package leaves the US you can't guarantee much.

[hiromizu]

Gotta be a joke.

 

[wedi42]

maybe he counts the great lakes as a sea

 

[ElFenix]

more like he just thinks that a literal use of the word 'overseas' isn't the only meaning.

 

[Squisher]

Tell him the ship to Canada is very reliable and you're pretty sure one is sailing tomorrow.

That's what I expect he meant.

 

[OutHouse]

doesn't over seas mean anything international?

If only there was a word for what he was trying to say...

I've always thought Atlanta was a cut above the rest of the state. I guess you're saying the rest of the state is even worse.

A survey of 7,968 Americans was conducted on locating Canada, Iraq, and China on the map.

220 did not know where Canada was.
3,967 did not know where Iraq was.
1,780 did not know where China was.

If I can't see across it then it's a sea.

Lilburn is a suburb of Atlanta.

Which is probably why he said that.

Um, Lilburn is very much metro Atlanta. Is that your auction??

Maybe Georgia FedEx Centers ships packages south to get to Canada.
