Wow, interesting. It seems, as suspected, that the shipper is likely the party unwilling to do business, not Amazon. I have no reason to support Amazon beside being treated well when I've bought through them, but it seemed unlikely they would limit trade and income.
I suspect the Chinese shipper is reluctant to ship to Canada based on some import duties, fees, etc that they don't understand or that may or may not be levied until the package is in Canada and may lead to people refusing to pay the duties, etc.
I can understand wanting to avoid dealing with tax departments, audits, etc. Small businesses are subject to far too much baloney to do business, and don't have the resources to deal with the paperwork nightmares or pay for another employee just to deal with paperwork. There should be a push to streamline requirements for companies commensurate with how much business they do, or how many they have on staff in order to ease such burdens. In general, if government(both State & Federal in the US) made it simple to satisfy their policies, there would be fewer people inclined to try to duck them.
