So after reading a NGTG post between an American and a Canadian, it kinda set me off. I've made multiple GTG deals with Americans, yet alot of you refuse to ship international citing "extra time and money".
We all know you can't trust Canada Post, USPS, UPS or anyone else. So lets think logically.
1) Extra Time: As I had stated in my reply to that post, what is worse? Would you rather spend an extra 5-10 minutes filling out the proper forms (In country or International) and insuring the bat? Or would you rather bicker on the boards for WEEKS over whose fault it is that the bat didn't show up? And then, there is no REAL guarentee that either party will be reimbursed.
2) Extra money: This falls into the extra time category as well. Shipping bats Internationally should never cost more than $25 (excluding packaging costs). I've done it multiple times as have many of you. The real pain in the arse is the customs issues that come COD.
EDIT: (8/24/2014)- It has been reported that shipping to Canada will now cost $35.
So Here it is!!

Proper Shipping To Canada
Hey all, for those that deal with our South of the Boarder Brothers, here's a little snippet for those a little shy in shipping northwards.
USPS Priority is fairly inexpensive 17-25 bucks and will arrive in 7-10 business days.
The only the only thing you need to do extra is fill out a declaration form - which is super easy.
The form looks like this:
Fill it out and mention these key facts:
1) "Commercial Sample" box checked
2) Include "used bat" with "no commercial value" in the description
3) Mark it as "Made in USA and Canada".
4) Declare it as $0 value, but you can still insure it for the full amount.
I hope this helps.
-----------------------------------------------------------
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
For the love of god man! I know you're excited that your OG FLEX has arrived, but shake the freaking box! If the above steps were followed, refuse to accept it. No matter what company delivers the box, you have to sign saying you are receiving it. IF YOU ARE NOT RECEIVING IT, DO NOT SIGN!
There are more national sales than international, this is for BOTH.
Instead of fighting on here that the bat was not shipped, or that the buyer received it but is trying to screw the seller, EVERYONE CAN AGREE IT WAS THE SHIPPING COMPANY.
That's why the extra forms and insurance AND TIME were put in.

Remember that this forum is to get reviews, information, and used bats/items to all of it's members. Lets do things right and keep the trust!
