Ask for the money in the currency of your choice.At this moment the US doller is about 5% stronger than the canadian.Most europeans want Euros you are an american get US dollers.Wire transfers cost money usualy to the person recieving the money, ask for extra to cover that or dont supply that option.You read horror stories about canadians refusing to pay brokerage fees or duty and its back charged to the sender.USPS is a great service and at the canadian end the reciever gets a notification slip in the mail and can not pick up the parcel till all dues are payed and unless the parcel is refused at the post office before opening and is returned to sender you have no responsibilitys.
Selling to Canadians
I've read about nightmares selling equipment to our neighbors north of the border and would like to have some guidance on how best to handle such a transaction. Is there an exchange rate issue? Also, what's the best way to ship (cables) -- and how are the duties handled? Is it a percentage of the sale price and, if so, do they go by the price new or the resale price? Thanks a lot for your help.
