Problems with shipping to Canada

I checked the Forums but this topic doesn't seem to have been addressed before so potential shippers to Canada take heed. In June I shipped an item to Canada by FEDEX where the buyer had agreed to pay shipping and be responsible for paying the import duties. However FEDEX has been unable to collect the fees from the buyer and have informed me that as shipper I am ultimately responsible for payment. Luckily the amount I'm out of pocket is not large ($120) but I just wanted Agoner's to be aware of this possible pitfall especially if shipping high-value items

Hey, look at my feedback. I have bought my stuffs from the State in the past few years with no problem at all. There can be really smooth transactions.

As a responsible adult, I think all Canadian buyers should know they have to pay the duty, taxes, brokerage fee etc, NOT by the USA sellers. You can use your own intelligent or knowledge to lower what you have to pay, BUT you have to pay for your part.

Shame on those that don't have these common senses and you better buy from your local junk yards.

I do encourage the USA sellers to deal with Canadian buyers with high feedback rating.

Happy trading!
