I find it annoying as well. And even if I ask nice enough, most people will
send me something, because I am in Canada. It seems most people are worried
about overseas selling. I think that is understandable. I have not and
most likely will no purchase from overseas.
What bugs me are the people who charge a flat out rate for international
shipping, say $4 US. That's about $6 up here in Canada. Then I receive the
package, which is more like an envelope, and has a shipping charge of less
than $2.
And I don't even want to get started on those green forms. Gift,
merchandise, who really cares anyway. I still haven't figured out why it's
on there. Most of the packages I get that are not marked gift, require some
payment to be received from Canada Post, but not all of them for some
reason. I don't get it. I just try to avoid buying from the US when possible.
Ending rant...now.
