Shipping cards to PSA

I live in Calgary and am looking for the best way to ship cards to PSA. The package will be valued at approx $5000 but no shipper in Canada will insure sports cards. How do people do it then? And also, do people pay duty when getting the cards back?

    Send FedEx. They don't care what you're insuring as long as you pay for it.

    Also, when paying for return shipping, I would reccommend FedEx as well. I have a sub coming back that was shipped out on the 22nd of October that still hasnt come back yet (Tennessee). 8 days for registered mail for the price you pay is ridiculous.
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

  • Will end up paying brokerage fees using Fed-Ex. A 5.00 dollar fee if customs decides just to open it to verify that it is sports cards, then you will pay GST and PST on the value you insured the cards.
    Trust me i know !! That's when i said screw this and opened a US P.O.Box because i live just across from Detroit.
