Sorry for your misfortune. You really need to add puncutation to what you say. Its hard to read. I hope you list the guy here soon.

*!***!***!***!**heads like that are the reason people are hesitant to ship to Canada. Kills it for the rest of us. Post his name if he's a memeber on here.

I have listed items cheaper than actual cost for international postage but insist on priority mail with confirmation. I guess I have been lucky as I have never had a dispute ... yet.

Sorry to hear that, its to bad that some ****|*** makes people more Leary to ship here to Canada. Yes post his name.

Yeah, make sure you opt for delivery confirmation (which requires the recipient to sign for the package).

As far as the customs declaration form goes, I never have any problem paying the full amount of import tax (they don't really charge duty, just tax as if we had bought it in Canada), but just be sure to be accurate with the amount - do NOT inflate it.

I bought a TS2 and REK lower years ago from one of the users on here for $180 and then the guy's wife writes $400 on the customs declaration form because she thought it would "count" as insurance!??? Because of that smooth move, I had to pay almost $100 to pick the thing up at the Post Office. That sucked.

Ebay is the same way. There is buyer protection, but no seller protection. I sold a near new Shortwave radio to a schmuck that said it wasn't 'tuned' properly. It was sold as-is in the ad, but he didn't want to deal with the manufacturer. Long story short Ebay found in favor for him, gave him his money back and came to me for it. When it was returned, the tamper proof label had been mostly torn off to get access to a cover screw. I opened it and saw the tamper proof seal (glue) was torn on one of the tuning capacitors (he had messed with it to make sure it was broken, like his story). Ebay finally gave me my money back as well. But "as-is" doesn't mean anything on ebay. If the buyer is unhappy (for whatever reason), ebay will stand behind the buyer, not the seller. Sellers beware.

Why are you making this a Canadian issue? The post is about a person who claims not to have received a shipped item and who happens to live in Canada. This can happen to any OSE member any where in the world. I agree with you that RCTOYZNHOBBY should post his name to help us out and give his claim some credibility. BG

I was thinking the exact same thoughts after I posted last night Peter. I'm sure we can drop by his place uninvited if he lives in our area.

Things like this wrecks it for Canadian buyers. Its much larger market for available parts in the US than Canada. Not everyone is the same way and yes this can happen anywhere in the world including US. Bad apples are everywhere.

Isn't delivery confirmation about a dollar?

Evil Canadians...

If they havent taken their money back yet call your credit card company report your card used on pay pal as lost so its shut off immediately. Then switch bank accounts quickly. I would go into your Pay Pal account and delete the accounts also. THis should bar them from charging you.

That way even if pay pal finds in favor of the cheat they will get stuck with the bill.

My dad used to work for a multi million dollar online hobby store and had some stories of the BS people do. This is one of them. They want it shipped parcel post and simply claim they never got it. Which usually makes the hobby store send another at no cost but with the tracked shipping. Then a little later on they got notified the card used for the purchase which got two R/C trucks was stolen so they were out over $1K.

Old trick...

Glad to see you kept information on it. Hope it all works out in your favor.

Post a name please so none of us here have to go through this also.
