I don't blame people for not wanting to ship items to strangers at all. If they aren't hoarders and don't have a bunch of random sized boxes laying around the house now they have drive around to stores to see about getting some free boxes, pack everything up, weigh and measure everything, get a quote from Canada Post, then ask the buyer if they are willing to pay said shipping costs, drive to post office and wait in line to send the package and finally hope that they don't get ripped off. Businesses have profits that are built into their prices to cover all these expenses, sellers on Canreef are usually losing money on everything they sell and some aren't interested in being out of pocket even more money and time. If sellers live in an area which they have no problem selling locally where the transaction can be done hassle free why wouldn't they? Personally I prefer to demonstrate everything I sell to the buyer so they know without a doubt before handing me over a dime they are getting exactly what was advertised and can go home happy about their purchase.
