Heh,heh. I once shipped corals by air from Thompson to someone in Novia Scotia. All frags of course. And free, except the shipping. The farthest I would do corals now though, is in the province.

With livestock I know I'm not too keen on shipping although I have done so in the past for those who really wanted stuff, and I don't mind doing so provided I have the time to commit to packing and driving up to the airport or whatever ... just usually there needs to be a minimal threshold just to sort of make it worthwhile for both parties.
With dry goods, for the *most* part, I think there's no excuse not to ship espescially when the convention is for the buyer to pay shipping. It takes 20 minutes to go to the post office. Unless it's something gargantuan like a mondo mojo skimmer that takes up an entire room. I dunno just my $0.02..

I would be nervous to ship livestock, but would ship equipment in a heartbeat. I've packed and shipped all manner of breakable things to/from Germany and to/from South Korea, so I know it's feasible.

I know I am not an active member on the board anymore, but figure I'll toss in my two cents.
Right now I have hardware for sale , local only. The reason I do local only, is so I can try and get rid of it locally first.. simple as that. I had intentions of shipping if there's no local interest. Calgary is full of reefers, so I know I have a decent chance of selling locally first. I'll probably wait it out til next weekend. Shipping an item out isn't a big chore, but sure can be if you don't own a vehicle and so on.. so this is why I choose to sell locally first. And I am sure there is some apprehension when sending hardware out... most pieces of aquarium hardware are worth quite a few bucks. I'd much rather see my hardware go to someone physically and have them take it home. But that's just me.
