Our package arrived today and when we went to pick up the item Canada Post said we owe $24+ towards a COD charge! We've asked them to hold the item. Does anyone have experience with this? CPC said the COD is for shipping (not duty, not import, not brokerage). Our book cost nearly $100 plus $8+ shipping (also in retrospect, about the cost of a COD!...). The purchase was from the USA into Canada and our end of the shipping costs have already been paid. If there is any shipping overage it is the sellers responsibility. The seller has been contacted but most of their feedback indicates they won't respond so we're trying to figure out the best course of action. What should we do? - If we pay the COD, can we get the difference back from eBay? Postage is the sellers responsibility.- If we refuse acceptance will we get our money back? The seller has a no returns policy. Additionaly there are a substantial number of folks in the sellers feedback who claim the item recieved wasn't the item ordered. Now, we haven't opened the package but given that the shipping is already a scam we're concerned that if we accepted the COD the book might not even be the correct one purchased. If it isn't the right book, will we still get our money back if they have a no returns/no refunds policy? Or will they say we can't open another claim because we've already opened a claim on the COD? What is going on here? What to do? Help!
