My personal preference is to avoid Canada Post at all cost. I use FedEx. If you sign up for an on-line account with FedEx shipping rates are often cheaper or at least the same price as Canada Post and I find FedEx to be much more reliable.zombi69 wrote:Hey guys!

Shipping is complicated though, so if you get in to it there is a lot to learn. That said, I wouldn't ship now. It is too cold. Wait until the spring and then get more info to get you started.

I guess it isn't really. There's a lot involved in packing/supplies unless you use bottle shippers, which I highly recommend.zombi69 wrote:

Yeah I have 3 times...its more expensive and customs can be a pain. All 3 times I have shipped through Canada Post and they all made it through however one box I sent to Texas was held almost 3 weeks in US customs before it made out to the person I was sending to. Declare it as collectable glassware, say its a gift and put down the value of the package around $25-30 on the customs form. I would advise you that if your are trading internationaly to go after whales to make it worth the extra effort and money.El Pinguino wrote:Anyone done a trade between Canada and the US?
