Please help....


Dear Audiogon seller, can you please tell me whether you can use Fedex for sending a gear to my place? I'm in Burnaby (the city next to Vancouver) in Canada and my postal code is V5H 2X6 (or V5H 2X5). One seller said he couldn't and he is in US.
Thanks.

Take a look www.fedex.com and calculate your shipping rates:

Fedex does not take the V5H 2X6 zip code as valid. However, V5H 2X5 is a valid code and you might want to give that to the seller.

Also, two more important point:

- clarify, who will pay for import duties (0-10%) and import taxes (GST+PST)

- Fedex Ground additionally charges brokerage charges up to $100 for a lawyer to process the import. For Fedex Express usually those charges are included.

Please educate yourself, so that neither you or the seller will be stuck with unexpected charges. A cross border transaction is more difficult and can be quite some hassle, but then sometimes it is worth it.

Best of luck,

Rene
