Forums - General - Anyone sell on Amazon Marketplace in Canada?

Does the Canadian Amazon have "Shipped from Amazon" like the US does? Usually when I sell on Amazon I send it to Amazon and when it's sold they send it out from their warehouse in an Amazon box. That way I can send it the cheapest slowest rate to Amazon and my customers can benefit from Amazon Prime.

Just in case anyone was wondering about this as well. Nothing seems to be flying with Canada Post. None of the post offices will let me ship my N64 games letter mail. I even tried a thinner cheaper bubble envelope. The only thing that's working for me is slapping 4 stamps on it, throwing it in a mail box, and hoping for the best. Most people seem to be saying that 90% of the time they'll just deliver it anyways if you do that. Fingers crossed!

Damn, forgot to tell you this only works for DVDs and DSD/PSP cases (they're the right form factor)

Here's a crappy solution: Open the box and unfold it completely. Do the same wth the white carton inside. Then slip them in along with the manuals and the cartriges inside the bubbly envelope. Before though, make sure your buyer can reassemble the package (box and internal cardboard).

Let us know!

     I havn't sold anything with the box yet. It's all been lose N64 cartridges in bubble mailers. I've tried 3 post offices and none of them have let me ship it letter mail. On a more possitive note, none of the 7 games i threw in the mail box have come back to me yet. Most of my stock is N64 games right now, so I havn't had a chance to mail any other cartridges yet. And yeah it even says on the post office website that DVDs and CDs are ok. So more modern game cases better damn well be ok too. I'm sure the sorters at the warehouse have better things to worry about than a letter being 0.2CMs too big. Theyre sorting so fast they probably don't even look at most of them. Oh well, I should get me one of those small business mailing cards so I can buy stamps 5% off and just buy roles of them at a time. *shakes fist at Canada Post* But at least this is working.

Awesome, I sure hope those ones you put in the mailbox go through!! Keep me posted I'm interested to know :) Glad we could help.

With those absurd rates, I'm surprised Amazon doesn't give the seller a larger shipping credit. In the US, the shipping credit is often pretty close to what it will actually cost to ship the item.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
