Title: Shipping from US to Canada cheaply?
Post by: febbraio2468 on April 10, 2012, 05:46 am
Hi, new Vendor here. Does any one know a cheap way to ship from US to Canada? USPS charges over 30 dollars for a 2 pound package which is way too expensive. I used to be an online seller many years ago and I don't remember it costing that much. I tried UPS and the cost was even more than USPS.

I had to cancel my first order on SR because I screwed up and didn't check the cost of shipping to Canada and this has me very upset. I'm trying to do good here and I've already messed it up. Anyone have any cheaper shipping options?  :'(

$30 for a 2lb pack is pretty damn cheap actually. That being said, you really shouldn't be shipping 2lb at a time.

It was a two pound mini scale with a 0.001 gram resolution for the low low price of $79.99! Buy now, this is a limited offer!

Just send it regular mail.
What are you shipping bulky items? If not regular envelope no tracking is best, then no customs looks at it.

I would stick with USPS, because its federal, and search warrants are required to look in packages, UPS can do whatever they want..
