wow shipping costs way up in canada

i havent sold a whole lot on ebay in a while but today i got a huge shock to learn that they no longer ship anything by boat only by plane to canada that is over 4 pounds i guess...i shipped out 3 items that were a little over 4 pounds and it cost me almost $30.00 to ship out 2 wax boxes...the other one was some small traded sets..so i spent about 60.00 to shipp around $40.00 worth of items..i way undercharged for shipping but its my fault for not knowing that...just thought id vent...

since when did anything going to Canada go by boat???

actually that might explain why so much mail to Canada used to get lost...all those tankers filled with mail, fumbling around the Great Lakes...planes will surely improve things, although apparently it will be a bit more expensive.

It was too time consuming to drag the boats across land.

im really not sure but thats what the usps told me when i went there this week...they said the cheapest way to mail the stuff use to be by boat but now its only airmail ...who knows just going by what they told me...i am in michigan so windsor canada is just across the water...if i knew how to swim maybe i could do that and deliver it myself

Your USPS guy probably thought Canada is either in Asia or Europe

Maybe they heard that some Canadians speak french so they just assumed that it was a small town in France?
