JollyComics Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Hey fellow Canadians! Why can't you start a new auction house in Canada? No more expensive shippings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 The last time - and I mean the last time - I had a bunch of books shipped to me in Australia from heritage it cost $350 via FedEx. To make matters worse, I got hit with sales tax of another $270 at the border, despite Heritage having already applied that. It took me two months to get that refunded. That was pretty much the end of me buying from the US. The combination of a declining exchange rate and ever increasing shipping costs has pretty much killed off my collecting mojo.

The last few months I have some had time to start collecting again. Yesterday I won an auction for a single book unslabbed with a value under $250. I called Heritage today and they sent me 2 quo notes for shipping to Ontario Canada. My 2 choices were way overpriced. Here they are: HA PREFERRED (FedEx or UPS) $ 89.88 **USPS INTL PRIORITY MAIL ISI REQUIRED $ 50.46 This is crazy and gouging . I purchased a book from a great boardie Croc Hunter 2 weeks ago and he got me shipping for $22.10 from the US to Canada. What's with this pricing!? I know inflation has caused increases, but this is ridiculous. I have asked for a similar quote from Heritage that I received from Croc Hunter. I am awaiting Heritage's response. you also have no control over when they actually ship the item. Imagine paying $89.99 USD for the HA PREFERRED (FEDEX) option you listed but then they don't ship it for 3 months! Went through this late last year, was annoying. ttfitz and piper 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
