Why not ship from the USA to Canada?
With the explosive growth of the Health & Beauty subscription space and with companies like Shopify, it became easier than ever before to launch your own ecommerce business and drop ship products to your Canadian customers directly from the USA. While it sounded like a great idea, business owners learned far too quickly things were not as good as they seemed.
With incredibly delayed shipping times, border delays and outright rejections, customers were furious and as a result online reviews were horrible. Payment processors began blocking merchants who used out of country drop shipping and holding large amounts of their funds in reserve. At the same time many angry customers were demanding refunds and calling their credit card companies to reverse charges.
