Ever been screwed over on ebay.

Never been screwed. Just lied to and saw was not as advertised.
Thats what lead to me working on chainsaws many many years ago.

I just shipped 18lb big box from Ohio to BC Canada for $90. Seems little pricey for small box.

I honestly never figured out how the Chinese can sell a carb, fuel lines, filters etc. for just a few dollars....

I assume that they ship in bulk, via a container from China, then disperse via the USPS once here, avoiding heavy international shipping costs for individual items (?). Also, probably heavy subsidies from China.

I can't mail something across the street for as little as they charge sometimes. Literally.

I think I've only been "screwed " once .It was for a "Christmas " toy that was over priced and never shipped . I protested to Pay Pal that submitted a refund but evidently the seller knew how to manipulate the software and it was never taken off the bill .I did make the mistake of telling a seller what was wrong with a Mac 610 and the SOB never shipped it .I informed him the in's and out's of mail fraud especially when a postal money order involved that there was a record of .Took a month but I got the saw .---I have never since told somebody what or how to fix a problem if dealing with things over E-Bay .Pizz on them .

This is what comes up for me when I clicked on the link, shows $50+ to ship to my address in Alberta, Canada. Stupid price for such a small package.

And the really *s-wordty part is that they’ll probably get hit with duties when it shows up in Canada. They hit me with them in the last 3-4 packages I’ve had come across the border.

Don’t open it and write RTS on it

That might work in the USA but keep in mind Canadian Post and the US mail service do not operate the same .Not to point fingers or cause hate and discontent but the Canadians need to get their ducks in a row on that mail service .

I bought a non running 026 parts saw. Had an AM head when it was supposed to be all OEM.

Filed a complaint and no one did a damn thing about it.

I only take two perscription drugs which either my insurance does not cover or the copay is like the national debt .I send the script to Surrey BC but I have to have it stamped at my post office with a Canada Post stamp which costs me several dollars instead of the 49 cents or what ever it is now .I really don't know because I buy "forever " stamps 100 at a time .As I said it should take 3 or 4 days but it takes two weeks .
