good and bad stories please
never ship anything from the states with UPS. i bought a $40 pair of speakers and they charged me $60 in handling fees to bring it across the border. always ship with USPS if you're buying something from the states.

I've been lucky I guess. Even over here in Japan. If there is a problem I could say, it would be waiting for a address confirmation reply. I hate waiting.

Exactly. I got charged with 66 bucks once for a short shifter and never again will I buy from people who insist on using UPS.

Post office are just as reliable. The insurance coverage might be low but there is always a chance of your goods get damaged or stolen or lost, regardless which company you go with.

USPS only charges 5 dollars handling fee. So far, I have had great experience with USPS and CP.

I've bought and sold a lot of stuff on their. Right now I've had two deadbeat buyers in a row which kina sucks. One time
sold a guy a perfectly working deck and he blew the internal amp then wanted a full refund...

I bought and sold a bunch of stuff on ebay. Just do your homework. Oh stay away from the adds 20+HP 'chip' mods.

What I hate is stupid Canada Post employees that forget to add the 'airmail' sticker to the package and still gets sent out ground.
