I bid on a keyboard for my Mac from a Canadian buyer on the 13th. Now this

He was originally wacking me $50+ US for shipping and handling for the
keyboard.
Hi james,
Well, as many have stated, there is no postal strike, at least not yet. As well, I believe Canada Post bought Purolater sometime ago, who handle most of this type of shipping - ExpressPost, that kind of thing, so courier parcel shipping may be unaffected anyways.
But more importantly, is this some kind of special keyboard? You should be able to buy an Apple OEM keyboard for not too much more than what it sounds like you are paying this guy, and the MacAlly boards are only about $80 total here.
If you can, get out of this deal - it sounds like a bit much. And if it's any help, I've got one of the original iMac keyboards (the small one) gathering dust. If you want to pay shipping (just the regular price), you can have that for free.
Cheers Steve K.
