Dear members:
The GSP has been nothing but a NIGHTMARE for Canadian buyers like me !!!
The sellers do NOT pack the parcels for extended handling & travelling.
The parcels arrive & so many were crushed beyond belief !
The persons doing the delivery ignore requests to NOT to safe drop !
The drivers are RUDE & IGNORANT & OFFENSIVE ! Drop & run !
As a big time collector, I have decided NOT to buy from sellers using GSP.
No matter how bad I want this piece for my collection ! I buy lots here !
If other Canadians boycott this terrible shipping & total ripoff, perhaps Ebay might get the message !

Dear brettjet38:
I remember that post well & still stand by my words. Things have gotten much worse.
A year ago I suffered 2 strokes, was in hospital for 4 months, recovered & was released to home.
Now I am a handicapped person & I quit selling here as I could no longer do the packing & wrapping.
A have a close circle of friends sellers & buyers & they tell me you DO not represent the norm.
I am glad that post amused you, as for me, I find your comments rude & disrespectful.
Sadly I cannot understand why you bothered to post. You sound like a troll.
I guess you have nothing better to do ???
Flyboyac.
New message from: Top Rated Seller(2,128Red Star) Re: Discussion post GSP Program Very well expressed. I've complained about this program until I was blue in the face. It constantly gets defended as an easier way for US sellers to ship or as a way for Canadian/Intl. buyers to buy from US sellers that don't want to ship to us through normal channels. We've asked many times for someone to show up at the discussion board to address these concerns. It falls on deaf ears. Most buyers use GSP once...Figure out the problems and then use only as a last resort. I will message a seller to ask if they will send something standard USPS. Some will. Majority won't or say they don't know how. It is possible to opt out for a transaction on a case by case basis but well hidden by eBay. I find it an interesting double standard. Canadian buyers having major problems using GSP and these new other Standard Intl Shipping programs and eBay does nothing. But if a Canadian seller ships something to the USA and it takes 1 minute longer than eBay states it should instant refund for US buyer. Firstly sellers do not control mail delivery once they drop it off and lastly customs can take as quick or long as they like to process. You may want to tag tyler directly to your post. It will look better than me doing it. Hope you get some proper response but please don't hold your breath. -Lotz PS. They also use the explanation that delivery is spoke and wheel so it will always take longer. If they are processing that many packages using that service and making tons of money from it, open a hub on the west side of the USA. That should not be rocket science.
