> Anyone with expereince shipping USA to Canada?
That should work, but mail to Canada is notoriously
slow and subject
to random failures.
I've had very good luck with postal service (on both sides of the border)
having run a mail-order business for many years, I still find it the best
option in many cases.
Most of the stuff I've had shipped from Canada was
done with UPS,
NEVER ship to Canada via UPS ... ***NEVER***
UPS charges a large "brokerage" fee to the recipient which they clain
is for processing the customs paperwork. Postal service costs nothing
in clearing.
EG: I had a PET shipped up, shipping cost to the sender was $60,
"brokerage fee" I had to pay to receive the machine at my door
was $45.
