Things that make you go "Hmmmmmmmmmmmm"
Feb 2, 2008 08:26 AM
**I'm laughing as I write this** Earlier today, I found some must have scrapping supplies. The auction stated they shipped to North America, South America, and Australia. Since they didn't say what their shipping charges were to Canada, I emailed through "Ask Seller A Question" to inquire about shipping rates. Here is my email: Hello! I very interested in several of your auctions. Would you kindly email me with your shipping rates to Canada, as well as any combined shipping rates you offer. Thanks, Martha Heres the response I rec'd: Martha,Thank you for your email, however my listing very clearly states that I only ship to North and South America as well as Australia. I may have to change my wording in my auctions as I am constantly being asked by Canadian bidders for my shipping rates! It is very important for bidders to accurately follow the terms of an auction!Judy I've decided to not reply...besides, I needed a good laugh this morning :)

Even worse, I've known people who couldn't get something shipped to New Mexico because the seller shipped to USA only.

Now, I could possibly understand the England/UK one and I can even go as far as letting the Canadian/North America one slide every once in a while but New Mexico not in the US. Now I've heard it all. :)

Wow! I did not know that Canada moved! Shocking, the ignorance of some people! I'm sure glad you didn't take it personally! Maybe you can email her with the link to a map that shows the "new" location of Canada!

Hahah poor lady. I wonder sometimes how these people get by. You can always use a package forwarding service if a seller won't ship internationally. Goopping.com gives you a US address to ship to and then they will forward to any country. It's been a sweet little trick I've found when I want something from the states. Here"s their site:
