reeves Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Bojon, Charge your customer US dollars (USD) for your product, it is up to him to make the conversion. As for shipping costs, go to the US Post Office website, www.usps.com, click on 'calculate shipping' and the rest is self-explanatory for you. You will need the weight and size of your package to accomplish this. You can even do all your shipping right from this website, print and pay for the postage as well as make out all the necessary Customs forms to go with it. It was really never any easier. Good Luck.

Only send through post office or UPS, with everyone else you will be stuck with a tarriff bill 6 months to a year later. ups will not give them the items unless they pay the tarrffs, post office I believe tarriffs are nothing if you use airmail. you should be able to look it up on USPS.COM post office website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 If you value your customer ship by USPS only. It may take a few days longer to get the product to him but the post office will only charge him the GST tax plus a $5/package customs charge. UPS will charge crazy amounts(brokerage fees plus taxes on everything). I have; in the past; actually paid more to UPS than I had paid for the product in the package they delivered to me. I will not allow anyone to send things to me via UPS. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Prager Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 A Flat Rate Envelope to Canada is $11.95. A lot of tubes can fit in that. If the customer pays through Paypal, you can just buy the postage online, print it out and give it to your letter carrier. You save on packing supplies and gas to the post office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
