It is quite hard to understand what Blck C7 is trying to say. Holy smokes, I know the human brain can read backwards, but the person's English is beyond that.
Please, someone, send this guy a 4th grade English book on how to spell.
Perhaps he has a new foreign language I have never heard of.

You will get one more chance and then someone will report your post(s) and you will be gone. So wise UP: don't get on someone's case for having difficulty reading your abbreviations, misspellings, etc. WE are a very tolerant group that will try and accommodate every person who tries to get their "message" across. Try a little harder, please.
As to your thought about people not wanting to sell to Canadians, it's possible that it has to do with Customs importation laws. I read that there is a US concern that sells Corvette parts to Canadians, but it's one of the few because of tarriffs and delays at Customs. Also, if you read on here very much, there is a well-known vendor in Canada who frequently has his stuff that he sells TO US residents held up at Customs on the border--not for days, but weeks.
When it comes to PayPal, and the ability to "claw back" charges, some people don't like to wait weeks for what should take days. And a seller from here could see the product get sold, shipped, delayed, and then have the charges "clawed back" and be out the product AND the money. For that reason, many may say, 'no thanks.'
How's that for clarity by me?

Read my post again: no, not on your English; but on the ability for someone to understand what you meant. And I just gave you AN answer but maybe not THE ONLY answer. Take it or leave it.

Don't blame spellcheck. For what it's worth, I'm guessing that's the only reason we can decipher (figure it out) what you're trying to convey(get across to us)

I don't post here (own a C5) but as a fellow Canadian that happens to be in construction, you're an embarrassment. I wouldn't ship to you either and I could probably drive the part to where you are.
