Trading between Canada and U.S.--Anyone?

Post by WearyOne » Sun Dec 13, 2009 11:29 pm

Has anyone here ever traded mask parts between Canada and U.S.? On my Hybrid trading thread it was wondered if that might pose a problem.

Any thoughts?

I am in Canada and have bought several masks from sellers in the US, on cpapauction.com. They have been shipped, via the Postal Service - no problem.

I don't see any reason why mask part exchanges should be any different. It just takes longer to get here or there!

Weary,
I just wouldn't expect things quickly especially over the holidays. With the holidays if something needs to go through customs inspections (even the mail goes through that) then it takes a little longer.

If you're talking about 'used' items, I would just package them and label them as personal gifts.

Well, not necessarily used, but the cushions and pillows that come with the Hybrid that you're not using. It's great they come with all sizes, but then you have left over the ones you don't use because they're not the right size.

Hawthorne, nice to hear you're done this before with no problems.

It's so great to be able to trade what you're not using for what you do!!
