Chit Chats No Longer Providing Acceptance Scans

[wilsonharborsales]

Chit Chats has changed their policy regarding acceptance scans without notifying users. Rather than providing ‘acceptance scans’ they will provide an ‘electronic information received’ scan when you drop a package off. Then, over the course of the next 3 days, they will physically inspect the package. Once the package is inspected, they will mark it as ‘received’.

With this new policy, Chit Chats has become non-viable for most Canadian sellers. 3 day waiting times on scans is unacceptable. Just a heads up before you buy postage from them.

My last parcel with Chichats  was told they had to open it and i stuck around and re packaged it after they inspected and placed stivckers on items that they were made in USA.

That was and will be my last shipment to USA until,all this **bleep** gets done with but i wont hold my breath Tariffs are here to stay until atleast the next 4 years.

Couls ship to USA with Canada post at much higher costs which buyer dont want to pay, but they could could be facing same issue with having packages opened up to be inspected.

Better not ot sell and ship to USA then to have to go through all the **bleep** and get complaints or wrong seller results ratings.

Card collectbales shows have picked up in the past 6 months more people buying at shows then they been doing online, this trend will continue as many feel they are getting hosed by having to pay sale tax on used personal items, would almost be similar to selling used items on garage sale and big brother says need collect tax.

Chichats raised prices a parcel box from Toronto to California use to cost about $15.00 tops 1.5kg now i sent similar cost was $21.85 so thats large increase. At these rates people will buy less online as the costs of shipping have gone through the roof.

Heck even with in Canada FLAT RATE boxes that Canada post has value up to $100.00 with tracking has 4 different size boxes all went up in price by around $2.00+

Thus cost now on a small box $21.99 plus tax =$24.84  thus on Ebay need charge $28.00 if not more cause Ebay will take over $3.00 in fees   These increases although may seem small to some will have a large effect in sales and online purchases shipping.

If you have access to Stallion and an account with them, check their domestic rates. They have many different couriers with great rates - I sent a 1.2kg box to Nova Scotia for 13.xx$. Intelcom. Best to check by creating an account and using the estimator in your account panel.

I might check Stallion. Do they accept "ship in"? Cause all those services are far away from me. I will check that out.

For the moment, I will stick with UPS as a safe method with calculated shipping until I find an alternative that is workable with the Urban/Rural system of eBay. Costlier but at least, I can provide 1 day shipping (and not 6+).

ChitChat isn't working well with the table rate of eBay.

My understanding is that they do if you ship it to them with UPS. I can't recall exactly where the info is on their website (it's buried pretty good).
