OFFICIAL — WeTheNorth Market: Canada-only links, escrow and rules

WeTheNorth — WTN to everyone who uses it — is the odd one out among the English-language markets: it sells to one country and refuses the rest. Canada only, domestic shipping, no customs, no international parcels, no "worldwide" vendors pretending otherwise. It has run that way since 2021, when it took over the ground CanadaHQ left behind, and it is now the longest continuously operating Canadian marketplace.

For us the interesting part is the model rather than the shopping. A domestic-only market deletes the single biggest failure mode in this game — the customs letter — and replaces it with ordinary postal risk: a parcel that never scans, a mail cover, a courier driver who signs for something he should not have. WTN leans into that. Every account gets a province and territory filter, wallets are denominated in CAD, and vendors are expected to ship within Canada only. Cross a border on a WTN order and you have broken the market's own rule, which is also why the dispute goes against you.

The interface runs in English and French. Roughly 8,600 listings across the usual spread — cannabis, concentrates, powders and pills, counterfeit notes and documents, carded goods, digital products, fraud and guides, jewellery and gold, hosting and malware. Prices in CAD, paid in BTC or XMR.

Vendors: PGP key required before listing, two-factor authentication on accounts, escrow on every order, flat 5% commission, and a CAD $300 vendor bond that is not refunded. The bond is the filter — it is cheap enough for a serious vendor and expensive enough to make a throwaway scam shop pointless.

Frequently asked

Does WeTheNorth ship to New Zealand?
No. Canada only, domestic addresses only. If the delivery address is outside Canada the order is cancelled or disputed. If you are in NZ, WTN is a model to study, not a place to shop.

How do I verify the official WeTheNorth link?
Use the onion in this post, or wethenorthlink.com, which republishes the live address. Treat every other address — especially one pasted into a chat — as a clone until proven otherwise.

What does WeTheNorth charge vendors?
A flat 5% commission on sales and a non-refundable CAD $300 vendor bond. Buyers pay no market fee beyond the listing price and the coin network fee.

Is WeTheNorth active right now?
Yes — status ACTIVE, reviewed November 2026, community score 4.5/5. Start with a small test order, as on any market.

Domestic only is the whole product, isn't it. Half the complaints on this board about any international market are really complaints about customs, and WTN just deletes that step.

What I can't work out is why nobody copies it here. Australia is the obvious candidate — one country, one postal service, no border in the middle.

Because domestic-only does not remove risk, it moves it. Without customs you are left with mail cover, postal workers, and the fact that a domestic parcel of bud travelling 4,000 km inside one country is very easy to describe in a warrant. A customs seizure is an annoyance. A domestic controlled delivery is an arrest.

The Canadian scene also has a supply advantage nobody talks about: legal cannabis everywhere, so flower is cheap and the market volume is mostly concentrates, powders and pills. Different product mix to what a Pacific market would run.

CAD $300 bond plus 5% — on a low-margin flower listing that is a lot of orders before you are square. Then again the bond is why a WTN shop can't vanish after ten FE orders, so the buyer comes out ahead either way.

Does the bond come back if a vendor retires cleanly, or is it gone the moment they sign up?

Two years on WTN from Ontario before I moved back. Bond does not come back — non-refundable is in the vendor terms, it is insurance for the market, not a deposit. 5% is on the low side compared to the old 8-10% crowd.

Practical notes: Xpresspost with signature is a waste of money and a worse idea than plain lettermail for small orders; the province filter is genuinely useful for anything cold-sensitive in January; and vendors who list "ships from Canada" but take 6 days to hand over are usually drop-shipping from a reship, so read the reviews before the bond numbers.

Went looking at the clearnet mirror out of curiosity and it is exactly as advertised — same listings, same CAD prices, and a login box that would happily eat your password over a home IP. Preview in the clear, log in over Tor, and the two halves of that sentence are not optional.

Clearing up the two points that came up: the bond is non-refundable, it does not return on retirement — it buys a listing slot and a reputation stake, nothing more. And yes, deepcove has the shipping advice right: signature-required on a domestic parcel puts a name and a time against the delivery, which is the opposite of what you want on a small order.

For NZ readers: WTN will not ship to you. Use this page for the model and use the Australia/NZ-relevant markets on the board for actual orders.
