uchiha101 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 How do you not know this? You can plug all the data into the Canada Post website under find a rate and once you put in the information it will give you quotes for different service tiers. Invest in a digital mailing scale. This will save you surprises. All of this is kind of Selling 101. Bottom line if you promised the guy that you would cover the rest of shipping with signature confirmation you are easily over $100 CDN to ship. I did and it gave me 6 different options Did you look at those options or just pick the first thing possible? Did you put in proper weights and sizes or just pick numbers from the wild number picking tree? Small PacketTM - International Surface - $18.44 (NO TRACKING AVAILABLE!) Small PacketTM - International Air - $38.34 (NO TRACKING AVAILABLE!) International Parcel - Surface - $48.26 (NO TRACKING AVAILABLE) Tracked PacketTM - International - 7 business days - $61.09 (YEAH TRACKING!) XpresspostTM - International - 4 business days (Guaranteed) - $89.61 (YEAH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE)! No I didn't put random numbers and I know the measurements of the box and yes I told him of all the shipping options and he wanted the cheapest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman399 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 So you were about to ship a $200 slab over seas with no tracking? Ya that is going to end well when he submits a paypal claim and you can't show it was delivered.

W16227 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 So he wants signature confirmation which you said you would cover. Using Xpress Post with package dimensions of 16 x 12 x 4 and weight of 1 kg with sig confirmation and insured for $200 CDN is going to be around $112 CDN or $82 USD. So you are picking up $71 USD in shipping or thereabouts now. He doesn't want insurance just a signature confirmation Uhmm the insurance should be for your own protection not his... This x100 Insurance is to protect seller - if a a package arrives damaged - the buyer has all kinds of protection. You should include this by default for any international shipment - especially for $100+ package...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn't have offered to cover the shipping for international I didn't, I went back and checked what I said and I didn't say I would cover it so what happens now is if it's anything over 20 dollars he paid for shipping he'll pay the rest.

Batman1fan Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I haven't even posted all the numbers yet Everyone here can see the handwriting on the wall. If you are on the hook for shipping, there's a good chance that after fees, you might only break even or even lose money. Why don't you post the dialogue between the buyer and yourself so we can see what you actually committed yourself to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think though, what people are questioning is that the whole shipping thing overseas is not clear...Have you actually "sold" the book? Or are you still finalizing a deal with the potential buyer? Whatever you do, do not ship anything of value overseas without tracking and proper insurance (as in, you should insure it for at least near the full value of the item).

uchiha101 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) I haven't even posted all the numbers yet Everyone here can see the handwriting on the wall. If you are on the hook for shipping, there's a good chance that after fees, you might only break even or even lose money. Why don't you post the dialogue between the buyer and yourself so we can see what you actually committed yourself to?

The first one? Yeah Then yes the total is 220 OK that's fine Want my paypal address? Yes please sonicninja05@yahoo.ca Sent Address is UK Thanks I received it I'll ship out on monday That brilliant thank you ? Thanks again FRI 11:27AM In your postal code is that a O or zero?

FRI 2:15PM And o for Oscar Just see what the cheapest shipping is I don't think it will be that much I've sent items international and it's never been that much but I'm happy to pay as long as it's reasonable Ok that sounds fair so before I ship out I'll get you the quote If it's under $50 I'll do it as I've already done $20 just send a pic of receipt once sent Sounds good to me Awesome did you say it will be Monday you will be posting Yes I'll be shipping it out Monday That great thanks Cool and don't worry I don't pull tricks on people I charge what I see on the receipt That's good I'm always abit wary until I've done at least one deal with someone Ah I see here let me give you some of my feedback http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=uchihadesendent&ftab=AllFeedback http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7717963 That makes me feel much better ? of you let me know how much it costs I'll send the money straight over Sure sounds good I'm getting the quote tomorrow so before I go I just want to make sure I have the correct postal code Yeah that's it great thanks Edited November 26, 2016 by uchiha101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman399 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Gabe if you ship it international surface or international air you will lose both the book and the 220$ usd. Explain why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
