Crazy Canadian Shipping.

For an 8x10 envelope that weighs 1lb...$14.30 And that is not any duty or taxes the receiver will have to pay on their end. Then there is the paperwork on my end and the fact that the receiver then has to exchange the money on their end. HA! So not worth the hassle. I had no clue!

Calimama replied: Dang, sending to Iraq is easier.

moped replied: That must be for express shipping or something........

seriously, no way it is that much. 8x10 envelope would be about $3.....

moped replied: Ok, I just checked.......what kind of shipping did you request, because I am getting $7 for 1 pound and if it was a bit lighter it would be $5

CantWait replied: Ya that is crazy, but a lot of the time there is no duty on our end. I've never had to pay anything at least. It wouldn't quite cost that much to ship within Canada an envelope that size or weight.

Crystalina replied: I did it over the phone and the woman said it was just regular shipping. She asked if it had to be overnighted or anything and I told her heck no and thank goodness it didn't have to be with the regular price being $14.30

I wonder if she typed it in wrong?

moped replied:
Yeah it must be wrong.....go on USPS website, it says 4.58

Crystalina replied:
You're right. I also just called the post office and got $4.10.

CantWait replied:

Someone doesn't know what they're talking about.

moped replied:
I am so glad and didn't want to sound like a know it all but I knew that couldn't be right!!!

Crystalina replied:
Well I think I lost a sale over it.

moped replied: Thats too bad..........
