It's not just Canada. I have been buying a lot of stuff this year for my system and have trouble with Paypal and so I only get to buy things if the seller can take a credit card any other way but PP or if I can send a Western Union money order. My bank offers them to without fee. I also send them by USPS Priority 2-day Mail. One check to nearby Flint, Mi. took 13 business days. Two more to each of the coasts took more than 6. Flint is only 150 miles, as the crow flies.
Audio Eden & Lack of Response - Anyone Else?
I have tried since last weekend to get a response from the Canadian retailer, Audio Eden, who is offering a used Nait Naim UnitiServe. Calling them occasionally got a response to call back later. Their terms were onerous; quoting in Canadian dollars only, refusing to use PayPal and wanting to impose a 6 1/2% tariff to ship into the States. That one really steamed me. Since when were tariffs applied to used goods? Near the end of my frustration when I couldn't get any response to my emails I tried to call them. Apparently they are a 2 man shop. The fellow that I could get on the phone always deferred to the other guy. I tried for three days to reach him but never did. I'd beware of these people. All my other Audiogon experiences have been very positive. This is the lone exception. I'm now glad that I didn't buy from them. Had I had a problem I seriously doubt that it would have ever been resolved.
