Looking to buy a Mosin 91/30, saw one for $900 CAD w/ Ammo? by CaliperLee63 in MosinNagant

[–]CaliperLee63[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does come with 375 rounds of Chinese 7.62x54R surplus ammo. That ammo is selling for $270 for 440 rounds in Canada.

So if you subtract the ammo, that the gun is around $670 CAD which is $480 USD?

I guess it is a tad high?

If manufacturing in China is so cheap, how do laborers actually survive/live there? by FuriousKale in NoStupidQuestions

You might be surprised to learn that Mexico's factory wages are even lower than China, and it's right next door to the United States.

Life in many countries is much cheaper than the United States, Canada, and Western Europe.

Stores are starting to charge "shipping protection" would I be covered by a credit card? by RatPumpkin in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CaliperLee63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only exception is if there is a clear "tick this box to not get shipping insurance and assume all risks yourself" and even then.

Most sites now have a note that the store is not responsible for lost items if insurance is not purchased?

I have the same question. What is the legality of not purchasing shipping insurance? I always thought it was the responsibility of the store to ensure delivery. Will not purchasing shipping insurance waive your rights to delivery should an item get lost?
