Shipping from the US to Canada is a pain. In my business, I have to go to the Chamber of Commerce, and have a form signed and notorized. Expensive regarding wasted time. For USPS, better, but still forms have to be filled out.

For a business, this is money. Sending it to the US is simply packing it and slapping a label on, to Canada there is an extra step and forms involved, takes more than twice as long to label and ship (not including the trip downtown to the Chamber).

I'm not saying the businesses that don't ship are right, but felt that explaining why is important. Not your (Canadians') fault, but this is why you're getting resistance from some sellers to ship to Canada. I need to ship some parts, will take the 30minute round-trip plus waiting in line at the post office tomorrow.

And I sure did learn my lesson on shipping UPS to Canada, they rake the buyers over the coals on taxes.
