Ebay Shaft

Ebay Shaft??

Just bought an item of ebay, a Husky parts saw i had bid on earlier, i emailed seller asking if he'd ship to Canada ( Shipping cost to US 25 bucks ) he said yes, but, it would be alittle bit more for Canada. Well i won for 45 bucks and he sends me the shipping cost and its 50 bucks for shipping. This guy is rooking folks in shipping for extra cash, that is the lowest form of rip off on fleabay i can think of. I am blowing off steam now and its not making me any less angry.

 

[stihlboy]

[Saw Dr.]

He said that shipping would be double to Canada. I didn't know that was you asking. Glad I got outbid.....

What saw did you bid on?

 

[heimannm]

Canada Post

I've had a few things shipped from Canada, including a couple of saws lately.

Shipping was certainly much more expensive than from within the US, maybe not double but close to it.

On top of that, it took perhaps 3 weeks for the stuff to arrive...

Which method is he using to ship it to you with? USPS Global Priority Mail is very high and UPS is outrageous. The cheapest is USPS parcel post, but it may be a month before you see your item. I have all but quit shipping saws to the Great White North because it is so high

Just started selling stuff on ebay again after a 10 year hiatus. Things aint like they used to be. As near as I can figure, anything over 4lbs must go priority USPS (no surface) for international shipping. Ebay is now very automated. Shipping is figured at the end of the auction and is automatically added to the invoice that is sent to your buyer. All payments are now paypal only. Whole system seems to be rigged to pad ebay coffers. Not trying to give an excuse but us sellers are on a new learning curve here too.

USPS. I realize it can be expensive for courier type service and then there's the issue of customs, all courier services MUST go through customs which is why i like USPS, that way its a 50/50 chance of getting nailed with customs. I guess i have sticker shock, i have purchased quite a few saws and parts from the US and never was it this high, even with B&C. I will be seriously thinking of reducing my US purchases in the future which is a problem for anyone trying to collect because that is where the bulk of items saw related are. Not much can be found in Canada on ebay.ca.

If you go USPS to Canada from the U.S., the two options are Priority mail international and Express international. I had a lot of saw parts sent to me from Canada, that would have been $12.95 in a flat rate box via Priority from Maine. The cost from Nova Scotia for the same package was $35.00.

Well it might be legit but i have never paid that much to a seller from the US for shipping, with Customs added ( paid to courier service for customs fees) i've paid more in total for shipping. If he said shipping would be double than i'm the idiot for not paying attention!

 

[bigbadbob]

Some people wont sell to us because it's to expensive.
I ordered $35 worth of parts, seller uses UPS only, shipping was $5 border fees came to $38 the parcel was a padded envelope, a few ounces, I informed the driver there will never be a brown truck in my driveway again!!!
As UPS does the border thing.

 

[Brmorgan]

Yeah, UPS sucks. $30+ fee on everything just for crossing the border. What can Brown do for me? Keep your hands off my stuff, please!

Yea i been burnt by couriers as well. This is coming USPS. Here is the listing info, i did ask if he'd ship to Canada and the answer is there if he had said double cost, i would have cut and run. I have spoken to the seller through email and he said he would refund any over cost from shipping I wonder if he'd have offered that if i hadn't asked the reason shipping was so high? I don't hold any grudge aganist the seller and i don't mind paying for packing etc.... as long as its clearly stated in the listing. I also don't like getting burnt and so far thats only been by courier/customs.

Not sure you can name couriers here but they are all obligated to go through customs so if you buy from the US, find out if the seller will ship USPS and get a shipping quote, ( remember its a "quote") actual cost could be abit different but should not be outrageous. I appreciate all US sellers even if they won't ship to me but i always ask first, if it isn't in the listing.

 

[Taxmantoo]

The couriers have to go through customs, but I don't see anything that requires them to charge you a $35 "brokerage" fee for doing it. That's got to be a huge profit center for United Parcel Smashers.

Agreed, thats why i ask the seller to ship USPS, after all your paying the shipping cost and it should be up to the buyer, if its not already stated in the listing that the seller uses a specific courier for shipping only.

 

[mattinky]

He may not be ripping you off as bad as you think, I don't know how much the saw weighs but I just shipped a saw (20 lb package) to Canada via usps and it cost $49.64 and I buy my postage online and get a commercial discount. It's probably $52-$53 if you just take it in to the post office.

I make my living on eBay and ship all over the world everyday and like was mentioned earlier in this thread anything over 4lbs going out of the US can only be shipped priority now, the days of cheap "surface" rates are long gone. And, there was just another price increase as of 1/18/09. It sucks that it's gotten so expensive...

 

[Rftreeman]

that's why I don't ship out of the US, people feel like I'm ripping them off on the shipping.............you should have gotten an exact quote first....as for reporting it, what is there to report???

 

[rmh3481]

Is it the Canadian Govt charging the customs fee's?

Thanks,
Bob

UPS sucks my balls for shipping out of Country. Ripoff, brokerage fees, ect.
Always use USPS, I've shipped a couple saws to the US in the last month, and both times it was about $30-$35
