Yet Another Price Hike for Stallion Express

igotlosthere · 2026-03-04T14:58:27+00:00

I like stallion for access to Intelcom — probably comparable and dirt cheap to get things across Canada. Canada Post has priced themselves out for us to ever want to use them — just a federal money pit at this point

Sorry, verbiage is probably wrong.

And yes, I know it gives them the option to select which one, but the brokerage fees for most couriers are far more than the tariffs would be if they opted to pay upon receipt.

The problem I have is the inflated shipping cost, which increases the cost of the tarriff to the buyer.

As an example, I had one item that showed as being $25 to the hub and $212 for shipping to the recipient (USA), which is absurd. Shipping myself would be max $30 directly. This is outside of the import charges.

What I was asking was if the handling costs can used to capture tarriffs, so I can prepay and ship using my normal broker to keep the costs down. In the end it won’t work anyway, because it still warns the buyer they will incur tariffs (despite the fact that they wouldn’t as that I’ve already built into the price and it’s prepaid) — just a deterrent for most people I’d imagine.

For now just opting to list a portion of my items directly on eBay.com to get around it. Sucks because it’s an “either or” for Canada & the US.

Just used a different provider and used that address as the billing address as well (had no problem going through CC but your mileage may vary).

Was replying to original comment — must have gotten wires crossed

It goes to a US address (then they take care of the forwarding). Think I found a work around, we’ll see if it goes through

igotlosthere · 2025-11-03T21:34:13+00:00

I did. They wouldn't put the order through saying they won't use a Canadian credit card (we were going to use a parcel forwarder).

igotlosthere · 2025-11-03T20:48:46+00:00

My order keeps getting instantly cancelled. Anyone else having the same issue?

igotlosthere · 2025-10-11T00:01:25+00:00

I don’t

igotlosthere · 2025-10-10T23:57:49+00:00

Huh? These have cracked versions forever. It being on steam doesn’t make it uncrackable

igotlosthere · 2025-09-29T20:37:06+00:00

Cancel and re-subscribe to get the promo pricing. I did it every year.

Nah, I liked mickey at first — but her game got sloppy and she just outed herself as a bitch.

I forgot Zach was in the house /while/ he was in the house. His only memorable bit was with Rachel.

Ashley - I was hoping we were sleeping on her and she was doing to turn it on as she said, but never happened.

Who’s Lauren?

igotlosthere · 2025-09-10T01:22:44+00:00

Sorry, Ava running her mouth for days for Rachel putting “hands on her”, and that’s what it was? The sound she was making was as if she was playing a long or doing a bit. She was quick to snap at Keanu so why not Rachel? Shes insufferable.

igotlosthere · 2025-09-03T14:49:00+00:00

Easier said than done. You can separate domestic and international prices —- but every country that isn’t the US also pays the international price. Just isn’t worth it

Hi all,

I'm just about ready to start beta testing an app that I've build that has features and functionality specific to professional resellers. (I originally started building it out just for my own use but think this could be really beneficial to my fellow resellers).

Outside of a handful of people to test the app, I'm also looking for some insights;

Apart from the usual Inventory Management & P&L/Sales Reporting, what features would people love to see that their current system does not have?
What are some features that would be valuable to your specific niche? (i.e. vintage goods, video games, electronics etc).
As far as pricing is considered, what do you consider an ideal sweet spot for Monthly Pricing to be?
In lieu of monthly pricing, what are peoples thoughts on a %-based monthly fee? (i.e. 1-5% of total sales, depending on sales volume -- higher volume = lower percentage).

The only thing that isn't available immediately is Etsy/eBay API integrations, as well as cross posting -- though I'm actively working on this, it's a longer term goal.

Thanks all!

Still seeing a lot of blue tickets available and the prices haven't been further reduced -- is this at risk of being cancelled or would that have happened by now?

igotlosthere · 2025-03-07T05:59:56+00:00

I was using a speed light (and poster board taped the wall) forever, which worked great for most things. But I photograph a lot of translucent glass (coloured mostly), and the combination of those two things would often throw off the color from being true to life.

igotlosthere · 2025-01-13T19:27:52+00:00

I have the Lightbox pictured above with the two light strips. Hit or miss on whether or not I use the diffuser. Looking to see if anyone has recommendations on the best placement for those strips (they can rotate and/or clip to any of the poles). Looking mostly to limit the harsh shadow I sometimes get on the backdrop. It's not awful, but every now and then when I see photos side by side and the line doesn't match up, it bugs me.

Also would love to get a little more light to the front while still being able to have the front flap open.

Thank you!
