Topic: Shipping to Canada

Anyone have experience shipping expensive cards from the US to Canada? Is there a cheap tracking option available? From the USPS website it looks like 15 for a pwe with tracking. And bubble mailers are like 25? Does this sound right, or can anyone with more experience chime in?

Re: Shipping to Canada

Tracking is expensive both ways but more expensive from can to us then us to can. Probably due to the dollar difference. I have traded to the us from canada with only a little more wait time than in country. Luckily so far i havent had any issues except when shipping to romania. Pwe standard shipping is good but if its a large trade it may be worth the tracking. But it isnt cheap.

Re: Shipping to Canada

If you use the paypal method (https://www.paypal.com/?cmd=_ship-now), select USPS, First Class international, package size Large Envelope, and I usually select a generic 2-3 oz, throw it in a bubble mailer, and it comes out to $2.82 with shipping.

Edit: Don't forget to to sign it on the customs line, and I usually put the value at $1, and call it a "photo" or something, so that they don't get any additional charges from customs (and no douchey postal workers get any ideas.)
