    Newbie in New Brunsiwick

    Hello everyone. My names AJ Atkinson and I'm from Woodstock New Brunswick Canada. I've been scrapping kinda lazy like for 2 years and now I'm going at it very serious. I've been reading alot of the forums and older posts on here and learning tons. You guys are very in depth with reviews of companys and explanations of breaking stuff down and how to maximize profit. Some of the stuff parttime does is just above and beyond in the way how he breaks down profit per hour and such. I read a few posts about how you hate having to spoon feed noobs, haha and how they ask stupid questions that have been answered a million times and they would know if they just read the forums some. I do however have a question that I didnt really find an answer for. It goes out to easy and ewasted but also every other ewaste buyer on here (they're the 2 guys I've read posts of the most) Do you buy ewaste from Canadians and if so what is roughly the shipping cost to do that. I do however live only 15 minutes from the USA boarder and next time i go across i'm going to ask about importing then mailing goods. Other than that i hope to learn lots and make a good go of this and have fun

    Welcome to the forum. An outstanding intro and am impressed you took the time to read some of the old posts.

    Others have discussed the import of ewaste into the US. As I recall it was suggested using a broker who would be able to arrange the entire transportation Us and Canada.

    I'm certain it would increase the transport costs a lot and require large shipments to make it viable. If you can over come these "little" obstacles it could be a great opportunity.

    If you don't want to go alone there are others interested perhaps a little co-op could be put together. Best of luck , Mike.

    You might print off a pic or two of computer scrap so they know what your talking about, and explain that your wanting to mail a 20-40 lb box so what do you need for paperwork.
