 Re: Any Canada sellers?
A Russian buyer claimed he is in UK and bought a piece of gold jewelry from me ,asked to be sent to his mother in Russia.
He asked me not to send by USPS priority mail as it does not allow gold items,which is not true,it does not allow gold buillions,bars but fine with jewelry.
Anyway I shipped USPS priority any way ,when I realised it is a scam,I asked USPS to contract Russian post office to withhold the package,but due to communications and time difference ,the scammer has already picked up the package !
Another time was a print,Russian post office said the address is too small,postman cant read so it was returned to me !!
Russians were buying diamond on Ebay,and asking Ebay sellers to declare a low amount,it gets to the point Russian customs called in diamond experts to examine these diamonds,how can a 3 carat clear diamond have a declared value of US$80?
Siberian post office begs its residents not to buy too much as they cant handle the volume!
There were just too much scams and non delivery due to theft/scams,Ebay sellers would ban Russian buyers ,the saying goes Shipping to Russia and throwing the item into a trash produce the same result.
It gets worse,insurance company would only insure the package from you to the Russian airport,once the plane landed,insurance is voided.
I do not know how it is now,Russia is one of the countries I do not do business with,also Middle East,Indonesia,Africa,South and Central America,Eastern Europe and Carribean countries.
