i know this is an old thread but i just clear up some questions i have.

when you send the parcel, does it goes to the persons house or to the nearest canada post?

how will they know that the buyer needs to pay?
It goes to the post office. Then a slip is sent to the house saying how much the item's worth and where it can be picked up.

ooh okay, but how is the post office suposed to know how much the buyer has to pay for it?

When you ship the box or whatever, you wright down on the shipping slip how much the box will cost to pick up.

Not a problem. I ship things out COD all the time, so if you have anymore questions just ask.

It is scammable. I've never used it, but it think you should check the box contents before pay for the item. After all, you don't want to pay for an empty box, or a POS walmart component.
They will "NOT" let you look in or open the box without you paying for it first. I've tryed lol
what if u ask the seller to specify with his post office that he gives permission for me the buyer to open it.

I'm almost positive that its a matter of company policy, probably insurance related. I can't say I've ever heard of anyone successfully attaching that condition to a package or else I'm sure more people would be doing it.

Well, I have been waiting for aframe to get here, and this morning I got a white piece of cardboard paper fro mthe post office with a sticker on it addressed to my house.

The piece of paper said that the post office was holding an item for 15 days.

So im wondering if this is it? Or is this something else?

Yes, that would be it. Bring the slip and a piece of photo ID on it to the post office that is holding your parcel.
