Hey everyone... not sure if this is the right place for this question but here goes nothing..

 

Ive been selling for quite awhile and i have noticed new users create strange user ids like for example:

fdsf4hds5fdf34ji240 (sample) or things that are randomly created.  Feedback is never received, but i always think fraud claims are always likely.  

 

Im not sure if its a new privacy issue or what.. Has anyone else seen this, just curious.

 

Thank you in advance for your replies.

I'm not positive but I think it's guest buyers without an account.

Want to wish everyone a Safe and Happy Independence Day.

They’re guest buyers. Nothing wrong with that but I’ll take any buyer you don’t want. 😂😂

Why did I look? You actually sell chocolate. What’s different about Canadian chocolate? Does a chocoholic/chocolate snob need to try it?
Why oh why did I look? I’m blaming you op. Lol! 😂😂😂😂 Just kidding if course but my questions are for real.

Yes, I have seen those before. I spooks me for that exact reason. Your not alone lol.

I reluctantly sell to them, but I have never had any big issues before. XD

(Also quick question about one of your listings. What is the difference between the Pringles here in the USA vs the Pringles in Canada??? '.')

Canadian chocolate is similar to British chocolate. To me, born in England and raised in Canada, American chocolate like Hershey's smells funny.

 

Now for a really important question, it's been 20 years, is the Swiss Chalet dip better than St. Hubert? My favorite memories about living in Quebec was going into Montreal for St. Hubert. When I lived in Calgary we had Swiss Chalet. I miss them both.

Haha! I like your serious question and thanks for answering mine but I’ve never had British chocolate. I’m going to though cause I recently ordered a truckload off an eBay seller. Free shipping from the UK, how is that possible and the chocolates were $3.99 and 4.99. I know it’ll be small chocolates for that price but that’s ok.
 My ex husband brought me candy from Germany way back when and it was good. We had chocolates and jagermeister before it was available in the US. That’s all I’m gonna say about that. 😂😂
DH has been everywhere and never brought back chocolates but he was stuck on a hot ship for months so I guess I’ll let it go. Lol!
I have not yet left the US but I’m hoping to get healthy enough to go to England and Australia one day but I might have to wait until I’m a wealthy widow. 😂😂 Just kidding of course!

To me, Canadian Cadbury's isn't near as good as the UK & Aussie versions. But still WAY better than Hershey's.

Reality is the leading cause of stress.

Canadian and British chocolate are infinitely superior to US chocolate, but Germany has some good stuff too-- I'm quite fond of Milka.  Their Oreo and Chips Ahoy bars are to die for!

I've heard that the taste is different, and we have types that are not available in the USA. I need to sell more so I can visit Disney again and escape this cold weather lol.. help! 😃

I think both st. Hubert and Swiss chalet are great but if your from Montreal and eastern Canada you prefer st. Hubert and Ontario to the west you favour Swiss chalet. 

- Swiss chalet dipping sauce for the fries is gold IMO, but the st.hubert gravy for the chicken is awesome too. It's a tie for me but st.hubert is slowly becoming a restaurant of the past, very few left.

Free shipping from the UK.. wow that is very rare.  I cant even get free shipping from my post office for down the street.  I hope you get some good chocolate for those prices.  

 

I respect chocolate and jagermeister, i had those days too.. LOL

The taste is better (Canada vs. USA), But UK types is one step higher.  But the cost for the UK way up there.  Each chocolate has a unique taste from each country.  I know i have my favorites from the USA that i cant get here like (almond joy, or 100 grand) But i say the more you try the better you are.

Ah, but not  all American chocolate is Hershey's

 

There is Ghirardelli and some smaller brands that make some good stuff 🙂

 

But, I confess ... I prefer Swiss chocolate to any other. Even mass-produced Lindt and Toblerone 🙂

 

And Bavarian Godiva 🙂

Now you've made me hit my stash LOL
