Not because I have received many orders, from many countries, not because I sell
some rare items (while some of you think: what matters is your profit!), because:

I received a "quote request" from a country I did not know where it was!
The name of country is Macau. This is not yet an order but this gives
a very good feeling I can provide good quality vintage sets and catalogs to such
a small country

Would you have the same feeling in my place?

P.S. Shipping costs with CanadaPost tracked (Xpress Post) would be about $113
CAD. That is too high. I don't have another shipping option so the buyer
backed up a little bit
The cheaper option is tracked on surface for about $70.

Other options via USA with ChitChats are all untracked.

NetParcel is really annoying and I have decided not to ship with them any more.
I will write another post about them to warn my fellow Canadian sellers.

We have had no issues so far (but we currently don't ship outside NA).

We had an order from Macau back in 2016.

Although not really a country but a Special Admnistrative Region of China, Macau
strikes me as one of the most intriguing places in the world.

The Macanese people I've met in flesh are fairly unique and a crossover of
cultures.

I love sending orders to Macau to streets with Portuguese names
