Selling a desk in Saint John
Saint John is an industrial port on a bay with the highest tides in the world, dominated by a refinery and shipping, with a preserved nineteenth-century core that survived the city’s decline. Fog here is a defining feature of the summer rather than an occasional inconvenience.
Industrial shift work runs on its own cycle and the older housing stock turns over with old contents. Damp and fog mean storage conditions matter more here than in most of the country.
The uptown core is compact and hilly with limited parking, so confirm access for anything large. The city is spread around the harbour, so agree which side rather than assuming a short trip.
Fog here is a summer constant, not an occasional thing. Ask where the item was stored and check any metal fitting for corrosion, particularly on anything kept near the harbour.
Saint John, in New Brunswick, has around 70,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Moncton, Fredericton and Toronto are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Saint John
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
