Re: Shipping to Canada
No problem buddy, I have those moments more times than I care to admit! Could you please provide a link to your previous post regarding the trouble, or even just the name of the thread, I'd like to read about it?

Re: Shipping to Canada
I'll just tell you now mate. I have been buying knives from overseas for a while now, it is my only option for variety we just don't have the retail outlets for Traditionals over here, and they only have a small selection and are expensive, sometimes a lot more than buying them in myself. Never had a problem with postage, delivery, customs or anything else. That has all changed, Pay Pal won't except my payment now if a separate invoice has to be issued, they just say cannot except payment from your region unless you are a member, i always previously payed as a guest. So i was forced to sign up as a member, not something that i wanted to do, but was forced into it if i wanted to buy a knife that i wanted. But after signing up and giving a lot of personal details still had the same issue. I contacted them, not by phone because you can't, not by email because you can't, but by their chat over the computer method. A nightmare, after 3 days, no answer to my problem and nothing was resolved, i contacted 3 of the sellers that i deal with and informed them of the problem. One of them had 4 knives packaged ready to be posted on completion of my payment, they all contacted Pay Pal, and they all got the same result-NOTHING, no satisfactory answer to their enquiries and no answer to why Pay Pal all of a sudden were costing them business. But the stupid irony of the issue is, if i buy from a website that has the cost of the item and postage or extra charges on the one invoice on the website, no problem, it only occurs when a separate invoice has to be issued, usually after working out postage, or in one case the retailer gives me a discount because i have been a loyal customer. It is just so ridiculous it is not funny, but it has stopped me from buying a few knives that i really wanted, especially in the 4 that were packaged ready to be sent. So can you see my frustration, i have my own views to why it is happening, but i don't want to express them on an open forum, might cause to much angst. You have a good weekend mate, and take care over there, you are all going through difficult times.Madmarco wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 7:11 pmNo problem buddy, I have those moments more times than I care to admit!

Re: Shipping to Canada
Thanks cudgee! I never, ever wanted to use Paypal, and didn't until I was forced to for an ebay purchase, but I make purchases from a seller here, and P/P was the method that is the best for these purchases, but as soon as I'm finished with my upcoming purchases, P/P will be in my rear-view mirror! I know exactly your frustration with their "Contact Us" system, it's totally ridiculous and useless to boot. I have a question for you! Being where you are, did you ever order autos from Roadsideimports, and if so, do you know what happened to them? All 4 of his sites are shut-down, and no explanation was posted. You have a great weekend as well, and stay safe!cudgee wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 8:06 pmI'll just tell you now mate.
