I never ship anything I sell outside the U.S. It's not just a matter of forms and having to research shipping options, but also of insuring packages, VAT, and the difficulty of returning an item if the buyer isn't happy with it. The last time I sent something there (a Canon 24/1.4L lens), the buyer insisted I don't ship UPS ground but FedEx Expedites, or UPS Expedited, or some such. It cost $100 insured! Then he whined because I had insured and marked it to the full value, and he had to shell out duties and VAT and whatnot for that amount. Then he complained about dust! If it were the U.S. I would have just told him to stick it in a box and send it back, and refunded him, I'd then have had it cleaned if necessary and relisted. But because he was out all these ridiculous expenses and fees he insisted I pay him to have it cleaned. And this was despite refusing to ship there in the first place, he was the one who persuaded me it was nonproblematic (despite my past endless problems shipping there), and he does it all the time, and whatnot. In the end I still don't know if the dust thing was just a rip-off for him to recover his expenses. But I will absolutely never ever ship anything to Canada ever again! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
