This is not a Canadian bashing post. But beware of the US postal system and the banking system here in the states. :mg: :mg: :mg: :mg: :mg:
Recently, I sold a piece of equipment to a fellow archer in Canada for $45. I figured I could eat the postage fees as the package only weighed 15 ounces. I ate it all right. As a matter of fact, I took it in the shorts big time. The postage was $16. :ill: Over a dollar an ounce! Then to top it off, my northern friend paid me with a Canadian postal money order and my bank teller told me she could only cash it with a $15 dollar processing fee. So now I only had $14 bucks instead of $45. So I went home and gave it some thought.
The next morning I called my bank and they gave me someone to talk to that new the facts. They told me that they could not cash it but I could deposit it in my account. What a fiasco!! :crazy:
The next time I\'ll be a little wiser, (I hope)!
