Anyone with expereince shipping USA to Canada?
I'm talking small stuff, some eproms or manuals maybe a board.
around the USA I'd just pack a box and off to the post office.
That should work, but mail to Canada is notoriously slow and subject
to random failures.
Most of the stuff I've had shipped from Canada was done with UPS,
since they seem to have a presence on both sides of the border.
(I don't know if it is called UPS there, though.) Then you get
delivery dates and tracking and such, for a few extra $.
If you do more than $500 in a year (I think it is), you also turn
into an importer-exporter, and your packages get zapped with duties.
(That happened to me one year that I was buying stuff on ePay from
Canada.) (That's really weird because it is a subsidiary of UPS that
attempts to collect from you, rather than some government agency.)
For larger stuff, I'd go with FedEx (but stay away from the helpful
little stores with their extra fees, and look for the regional center).
HTH,
