Is it possible to sell to my relatives in Cananda? They can't be a host, and I can't recruit, right? But can I sell them any items?
 
No, technically you can't sell to them since their addresses are not in the country.
 
It can't be shipped to Canada if it's ordered in the US, you would have to ship it to them here in Canada. HTH

Do you happen to know how much it costs to ship things to Canada? Does the USPS have flat rate boxes for out of country? My aunt is interested in the citrus press, so it's not that heavy, and it's not a huge order either.
 
Shipping things in Canada can be pricey, but for you guys shipping to Canada it's not. You would have to check at your local post or on line.
 
Honestly, it depends on what's being shipped. One of my customers wanted a BAR PAN and some other stuff. The shipping was $11 to ship it direct to her mom in Minnesota. Had it not arrived before she left there (she was visiting for Thanksgiving) then her mom would have had to turn around and spend $25 to send it to Canada ... on top of the direct shipping she already paid!Luckily mom was so impressed she had a catalog show later!If they're not going to be in the states any time soon, send it to yourself as part of a show and then ship it north. It's not that pricey if the item is small ...
