Your postal system is the one having strikes so that would effect a letter traveling from a Canadian or others no difference.
We are all card collectors not Canadians or American.

I agree 100% in what you are saying..But just within the last 5 days I was interested in an item here on this very site.
So my first question was ,'Will you ship to Canada". The answer was quick and very short.NO,only to the lower 48.
There are likely 90% of the US sellers on eBay that will either refuse to sell to Canada or they are signed up to the
Global Mailing program.So when you would like to buy a $5 card and postage is $25 than it really does not make any
since.So yes they do ship to Canada but at that postal rate than no one buys from them.And now a days they cannot
even combine shipping.So if you buy 4-5 items that you know can all be shipped in an envelope and the postage
is like $100 or more.It becomes a big turn off..So the easiest way around that is to to try to stay within Canada.
I would love to trade with or buy from collectors in the USA.Which I have done for the past 35 plus years.But so
few will send up North. There are still some that will ship to Canada.Like yourself for example.But I do believe
that those ones that will are in the minority.Most just feel it is not worth the hassle so it is easier to simply say no they cannot.
So yes if you have some cards on my want list and want to sell or trade them to me than I have absolutely no problem
with making something happen. It has got to the point with myself.That if I want something bad enough on eBay I get
a very good friend in Pittsburgh to do the buying and sending it along to me.Short of that I simply do a search to
show only cards within Canada.Thanks.
