Generally speaking, I usually avoid shipping to Canada due to the hassel, expense, and worries of something happening. That said, I made an exception recently. Payment was made using F&F so funds couldn't be pulled back if things went sideways, I shipped using the quickest USPS way possible even though it was more expensive, and packed the card so that it would be safe even if it got run over by a truck. With all that, the number one thing that made me feel OK about the sale was that the buyer has been an active participant on the board for years. A lot can be said for knowing who the other party is and for getting multiple solid references if you don't know them. There's no way I would have done the deal for someone new to the board or had just signed up in the last couple years.
