Shipping to Canada Question

Re: Question about shipping to Canada

Also, you can see that I shipped a jersey. Total weight 1lb 10oz and the total was $19 and some change.

Like I said, charge him an even $20, ship it Priority, and call it a day. I have never once had a problem.

Item will be delivered in 5-10 days and you can use the confirmation number to track it all the way.

That is not bad IF you can Print ONLINE. otherwise no DC for Canada if you go to the Post office for priority.
My last UPS Shipping to Canada was 3.30 Pounds Actual Weight but billed at 4 pounds. Total Cost was $21.60 and it included extra Insurance at $200 which was $2 , so if I wanted to just have the $100 insurance it would have been only $19.60. So for the SELLER , I would go UPS. At least you are insured that way and still get the tracking.

You posted a scan of a customs number. It is not a tracking number. It proves that the item has been sent, but will not confirm delivery.
The item must be sent EXPRESS mail or REGISTERED mail. Without a tracking number they can easily get the money back with PayPal. Express mail is roughly $20.

Re: Question about shipping to Canada

Sure there is - every time you print a Priority label you get a confirmation number.

So do you still need to take that to the post office and fill out the customs form in person? I didn't think you could just print postage and drop off an int'l package.

That's a much better option.

Still, one package took exactly 30 days from STL to the east coast of Canada. Not worth it, to me.

Actually , that was a Tracking Number. I looked it up on USPS and Canada Post. It showed the Delivery information.
Express mail is MORE than $20. a bat cost me $39.15 before the rates went up and it was 2 lbs 13 oz. and a 6 lb package using express cost me $48 while a 8 lb GU Base using UPS only cost me $21

It shows the item crossed the border. It doesn't say it was delivered to the address in Canada. Just call PayPal and ask if the seller is protected with a customs number. If PayPal wasn't used, please ignore me.

Not True.

Your item was delivered in CANADA at 12:05 PM on December 22, 2009.

And it has the SAME information as a US DC.

Re: Question about shipping to Canada

According to PayPal, a seller is only protected by shipping with a tracking number. A customs number just proves it crossed the border at Canadian customs. PayPal does not recognize the item as being delivered, just because it reached the country of Canada. EXPRESS mail and REGISTERED mail are the only services used by the Post Office that offer tracking numbers to Canada. I do not know the regulations of UPS.

Again not true and you are mistaken.
Here is the Paypal info:
Proof of delivery
Proof of delivery is acceptable documentation if a buyer files a claim, chargeback, or reversal for either an unauthorized payment or merchandise not received. You need online tracking information from a shipping company that:

1. Shows the status as delivered.
2. Shows the date of delivery.
3. Includes the recipient’s address, showing at least the city/state or ZIP code (or their equivalent).
4. For payments of $250 USD (or local currency equivalent) or more, includes proof of the recipient's signature to confirm delivery.

It is Not a "Tracking Number" that they want but "Tracking Information".
So the Number thta XXX provided , DID show what paypal wants.
Now, you can Use USPS EXPRESS and get both Insurance and Signature Confirmation ..The Same that you get with UPS .but it will cost you more.

I tried to provide these customs numbers to paypal and lost my case. They said they needed actual proof of delivery. I am sure plenty of transactions go well in Canada but my one and only turned out horrible so I will only ship in the U.S.

We are talking about delivery to Canada. The customs information you showed does not have a city or providence or Canadian postal code or equivalent. A buyer can do a chargeback with PayPal, when shipping to Canada, if all the seller has is a customs number. Just call the PayPal "claims" department.

I wish to hang up, before this becomes a pee-pee match.

Good night and God Bless.

Seems like delivery confirmation to me....

You can request free carrier pick-up at your location. No need to go anywhere.

Re: Question about shipping to Canada

If you have a copy of the original shipping label (like the one I pictured) which verifies the confirmation number - and they can look that number up via USPS and confirm that it was delivered, PayPal won't have a leg to stand on.

Just because the website doesn't show the address or zip that the item was delivered at, they can cross check the actual address with the original shipping label.

Re: Question about shipping to Canada

I lost a few of my favorite Josh Hamilton items shipping to a scammer in Canada who never emailed me with any problems and then 2 months later filed a claim that they were never received. I lost my items and had to refund him his money. Bad experience to say the least.

Same thing happened to me with an Arod batting glove. I had the receipt showing I shipped it and I had the Canadian customs form number. Paypal didn't care and sided with the buyer. I will never sell to anyone in Canada again.
