Selling a salwar kameez in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

Put in the description

Which pieces are included, and whether stitched or unstitched
Kameez bust, length and sleeve, and salwar waist and length

Fabric, work and pieces: “Cotton Salwar Kameez, 3 Piece with Dupatta, Size M, Stitched”. Stitched or unstitched is essential — they suit entirely different buyers. Name the fabric and any embroidery style.

Light and folds small, so postage is cheap even internationally. Wrap in tissue and use a waterproof bag.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$170 a buyer pays is the C$170 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a salwar kameez in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

What are the measurements?

Give kameez bust and length plus salwar waist and length. Stitched sets have limited alteration room.

What makes a salwar kameez valuable?

Fabric first. Pure silk and fine chiffon hold value; synthetics sell for modest sums whatever the design.

Is a missing dupatta a problem?

Yes. It is part of the set and matching one afterwards is very difficult, so it lowers the price noticeably.
