I just can't justify the $18 + 3% paypal charge for the price of the goods. Sorry it didn't work out

Just curious how much it costs for you to send a package within the USA? Must be at least $5-10? This you are giving away for free for USA.

I don't understand why USA sellers have a hard time taking that "free" cost off of international shipping. I have no problem paying more to have it shipped to me in Canada, but why does USA get free shipping, and international doesn't even get a discount?

That's what so frustrating for Canadians.

I have stopped looking for tools here due to the above (not that I expect free shipping to here, but at least a cash or instant payment discount). With me being in Europe, it's not worth buying anything from the US and have it sent overhere as the shipping is double or triple of what the item costs from the start. It's as even bigger turn off when I see a "CONUS only" being added to what ever item is being put up for sale. To me it says that my money isn't good enough, or that my interest for buying said item isn't welcome. It's okay, and how it is, I just get what I need from somewhere else where my money is welcome and not looked down upon.

Okay, well this is going off on a tangent. Please keep all other discussions private or find a new place for them. I am just trying to move my stuff for a fair price.

On the Canadian shipping; the $18 charge was after the seller proposed to pay for half so actually shipping anything larger than a thimble to Canada with tracking was $36 minimum. So I ask (rhetorically), would you eat a $36+ shipping fee on a $120 sale?

[tparrish]

I'll take the thread and the needles if their still for sale.

Sorry for the delay, PM sent

The rest of the thread is sold pending payment...

Depending on the item, I might... I'll probably pay the same in shipping if I buy from the company and that's if that company even ships to Canada. it's all about rarity on our side of the border, if that's the only way we can get our hands on something, we won't care too much on the shipping (some are willing to pay more than others mind you, but still, you get the point).

But you're missing the point, why exactly do Canadians have to pay the "full shipping" price and US get free shipping ???

Shipping said item to the US probably isn't free, like stevieboy7 mentioned, it must cost you like 5-10$... so why can't you offer 26$-31$ shipping to Canadians ???

I was looking at some of your tools (namely the colt stitcher and osborne punches), but I'm Canadian... so I'll contact you based on your answer.

[tparrish]

Okay, international members can PM me for additional shipping charges. Based on what I am shipping it may be an extra $5 or could be and extra $30.

[tparrish]

The rest of the thread, needles, and beeswax are all SOLD.

Anyone know how to edit the original post?

[bruce johnson]

That is one edit that is within my skill set here. I got them marked as sold for you.

Great, thanks!
