LF - Someone to split shipping costs? *KW Cambridge Ontario*

#1 Post by waterloo » Wed Dec 05, 2012 10:21 pm

I'm going to buy from TuuS but I am wondering if someone in Kitchener-Waterloo or Cambridge also thinking of buying from TuuS and are willing to split shipping cost to one address... :roll:

Thanks.

What are you buying?? Tuus has always been reasonable in his shipping prices...

There are companies in USA, near the Canadian border, that let you ship to their offices, and you collect it later.
You only need to pay US shipping then.

I'm more then happy to combine shipping, in fact I encourage it, which is why I don't bundle the shipping cost with the items and I like the idea of two members sharing shipping costs, but there are some factors that could really complicate this, such as any possible import duties and how they would be split between the members, and there are potential issues with paypal too, none of which are insurmountable, but it may not be as simple as it would seem, but it is true that in many cases I can ship several items for the same cost as one.

In any case, I'll do whatever I can to work with you, or any other members here that want to share shipping, providing all parties are in agreement and fully understand the pros and cons involved.

@TuuS:

Did you just sell your P-51 Mustang to Canada? I thought I had dibs on that one...
