What is a reasonable cost to ship a single card to Canada? What service do you use?


Thanks,

    Regular airmail is about $3, no tracking/dc/insurance though so you expose yourself to a chargeback which the buyer would win. Generally, it's the way to go if the card isn't expensive. The other options are Registered (slow but shows tracking) as Probestein said and International Express or whatever it's called which runs about double registered. Priority is great (cheaper than registered) but doesn't offer tracking.

    USPS prices for shipping to Canada recently skyrocketed. I think $6.50ish is your cheapest option.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    ...not if you send it letter mail

    If it's a low value card, use letter mail. Save the $21 option for high value cards.

    It's about $6.50 to $7.00 depending on how extensive your packaging is to ship a single card non-machinable, 1st class from US to Canada. I use that for items under $100, and use Registered international for over $100, which is about $21 to $22. Used to have about 35% Canadian buyers before the recent increase. Now the percentage is quite significantly lower on anything under about $30 item sale price. $50 and over seems unaffected so far, and between $30-$50 I still can't quite tell yet.

    $6-7 for 3 oz envelope to Canada (no tracking)....I hate to say that I can no longer ship to Canada, but PayPal and USPS are pushing things in that direction.

    I only ship to canada if the buyer pays with a money order or cash...

    too much risk involved and not worth the hassle...

    I believe tracking is now included on the $7.00 option when printing your label from ebay checkout.
