How do I set up a - SHIPPING POLICY - FOR COURIER SERVICE in Canada ?

Hi - I've spent an hour now browsing for answers -got side tracked too on many interesting answers to other questions -alas always no time for learning as listing takes sooo long for me.

So - I have some heavy items right now - CPR Manikins in a Suitcase - Can't figure how to set up a shipping policy for either Courier calculated / flat rates -- OR that I ship to USA & Canada - But Inquire for the rate !  ---I'd like to offer Greyhound express in Canada - rates differ by town -so how do I get around this - have them set as pick-up only right now with a sub-title saying " I ship ... but looking up the rates"  --- the only other option would have been to list as Free shipping with a caveat but I knew that, that would be trouble ++ --- I get messages when buying that say -Seller ships to you but hasn't set up a rate "  --definitely some are per Calculator Glitches but I think some are done that way on purpose in order to individualize rates ??

Any Suggestions ??  ---- I've educated myself tonight on overseas shipping and will pare down my ship to countries -but then that does limit my sales more... I've shipped craft kits to Russia many times without problems.... --  I can adjust all the Policies Monday when we all have to increase & change Policies for Can Posts annual Rate hike !!!!  Does anyone know if the New rates etc are posted yet ?? Been trying for days to get Can Post to answer on this - when they go live on Jan 15th -is too late for our sales that day......

Thank-you - Melanie -at 3am -yikes - burning the midnight listing oil !scream

I did notice a lot of caveats on the US listings -some saying you have to be an authorized trainer or such and some other things ...I was going to review these and copy some onto my listings

 

Americans are remarkably paranoid.

Don't copy their descriptions and prohibitions. Many of them have no basis in fact.

Do your own research.

And if your buyer is not a CPR trainer, just having the dummy in his den as a decoration is not illegal.

Actually, to side eye the whole question, it is the buyer's responsibility to know what can and cannot be imported. Not the seller's.
