OT: COD shipping to Canada?

[RedBeard]

I read that USPS will not handle intertnational COD.

So that leaves UPS/Fedex...

Do they take care of the exchange rates? Is it worth the hassle? Is there risk involved? Even though it is COD, UPS seems to indicate they take a check.

Thanks

They just send the check back to the seller. the UPS/Fedex guy verifies it.

I would not do it. you will be raped with custom charges

the buyer is willing to pay the $50+ "customs fees"? they buyer does know they have to pay that to get the package from UPS?

 

[intogamer]

Its Customs + Fedex/UPS brokerage

If you declare the package pretty high, the CDN buyer will have to pay taxes for it.

Have the seller send you a money order and then ship it to him with usps.
Ups and fedex have some crazy brokerage fees, i paid enough of them to know.

I wouldnt do the COD thing...have him pay upfront and ship with USPS, less hassle

 

[intogamer]

yeah cdn postal money orders can be cashed at the post office(usps)

Don't do COD. He can always refuse the package and you'll be out of shipping fees.
