USA Expedited Shipping (USPS Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box®) to Canada

[sarimasu]

Hi, 

I want to purchase an item but in the shipping description it only says

ship to "United States"

service: "Expedited Shipping (USPS Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box®)"

I am in Canada, if I purchase this item what will happen ?

Will the package ever leave USA ? 

Or will the sell refuse to ship the item, if he refuses will I get a refund ?

If the item ships, since the seller probably pays for US-only Expedited shipping I suppose I will have fees or will the package just get stuck somewhere ?

Hi, if you do not see Canada or Worldwide (and be careful with worldwide, you still have to check for shipping exclusions because Canada or any other country can be excluded from Worldwide) actually listed in the shipping details do not try to purchase the item ~ the Seller is under no obligation to complete a transaction with a person in a country they do not ship to ~

Some Sellers have their listings set up to block buyers from countries they do not ship to so even if you click buy-it-now the system will not allow you to make a purchase. Some Sellers do not have the actual blocking set up so you could technically click buy-it-now but then be stuck not being able to pay for the item because the Seller can block payments from buyers in countries outside of the USA. All you would be doing is causing you and the seller some grief.

If you really want the item try to contact the Seller first to see if they will ship to Canada and confirm what shipping method and the costs will be.

Step 1: You ask the seller before buying if they will to ship to Canada, and if they do, what would the shipping cost be. Seller question link is on the listing page in the Questions and answers about this item section.

The USPS service shown is for USA addresses only.

The seller will refund your money and cancel the sale, citing 'unwelcome buyer'.

This does not affect your ability to buy in future.
