Ok... have some questions here.
Buying a bass from the U.S., shipped to me in Canada.
If I buy insurance for the item's worth, does it cover it in both U.S and Canada?
When the item comes into Canada, who ships it then?
Say I buy insurance with USPS, but the damage/losing of the item happens in Canada. Who is responsible?
Do you recommend shipping a bass with USPS into Canada, or a different courier?
This is confusing. |

USPS is the way to go.

If there's damage, you can file a claim with the USPS so long as you have evidence of mailing, evidence of value and any other documentation that will support your case. You will file a claim with the shipper(USPS). |
