Hi everyone,
I have recently agreed to a trade with someone in Turkey where I would send him 50 cards in return for some stickers that are relatively common in Europe but difficult to find in North America. We have had a couple of successful and much larger trades over the past year and everything has been great. This time however, once we had agreed to the trade he went to his postal service and was told they were "temporarily" halting delivery to Canada. He couldn't get an answer as to why (and I haven't been able to either), and he has checked once a week and been told the same everytime. He asked if delivery was suspended anywhere else and was told there were just a few countries, including Canada. It has now been 2 months and we're both getting tired of this. He received his cards from me over a month ago and I think he's feeling guilty about it, otherwise we would just not bother going through with it. He has offered to send them anywhere else, with tracking, and since I have no friends or relatives outside Canada I figured I'd ask here.
If anyone in the US is willing to have the stickers mailed to them and then send them to me, I could propose a trade and send you some cards in return. If I don't have anything on your wantlist, or not enough, I might still be willing to part with some things from my collection. It should be no trouble to post the stickers to me in a pwe, 50 stickers only weigh about as much as a dozen cards. I would send you the tracking information so we could follow the progress from Turkey. Our other trades took almost exactly 3 weeks to arrive.
I know this is a lot to ask, and I have been going back and forth in my mind over it for the past couple of weeks, but I figured it was worth a shot. If anyone thinks they can help, just let me know by private message, or respond on here if you like.
Thanks
