- Unfortunately, USPS and Canada Post don't do International COD (for
- obvious collection reasons), so this isn't an option. While UPS tells me
- they will do int'l COD to/from the US, their branch offices don't seem to
- agree on this.

- I am presently purchasing a lot of goods from the US for the simple
- reason that I can't get them in Canada. I wish there were a safer way for
- both the buyer and seller, but sometimes just the trusting the seller is
- the only way.
