Trading Myths

Feel free to contribute, but here are a few myths I have uncovered while trading on maxminis with the same username.

1-Trading with canadians costs a LOT more for an American.
This is patly true, on a regular box, it costs about 1.25-1.75 U$ to ship up here. For a canadian, the cost is 6.20 plus an extra 1.25 CDN, if a huge is added ( extra weight ).

2-Trading with Canada takes MUCH longer.
Completely untrue, unless you are doing a face-to-face trade or you are in the same state. From my experiences, canadian
post is usually at least faster than UPS.

3-Sending internationnaly is impossible to do with a DC.
Completely untrue, although the base cost is around 15$, it IS an option. Too costly for my taste, but it exists.

Another thing is when you send a package to another country, it is not a crime to mark the package as a gift and put the value at 10.00 even if the minis are worth more than 10.00 by any on line guide.

Indeed, in Canada we can get taxes on packages over 10$ and a STUPID 5$ handling fee, new this year.
