Like Anne mentioned -- If you ship to Canada, when you fill out the Custom's Declaration Form CN22 - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be sure to list the box as a "gift" and the value as UNDER $20.00. This is to prevent Canadian Customs Authorities from holding their gift hostage until they pay a huge gigantic custom's fee.
A regular one ounce first class stamp will cost $.44 Domestic Flat Rate:
$10.35 - Small Flatrate - up to 70 lbs.
$13.95 - Large Flatrate - up to 70 lbs. I didn't include all of the various weights only the maximum International USPS First Class for Canada and Mexico
$16.77 - International First Class to Canada - 4 lbs.
$26.85 - International First Class to Mexico - 4 lbs.
International Flat Rate to both Canada and Mexico with a maximum weight of 20 lbs:$25.95 - Small Flat
$32.95 - Large Flat Note: I don't have the deminsions of the flat rate boxes, but you use the same boxes for dometic and international - it's just the maximum weight is different. From experience, the large flat rate boxes are not much larger than the small ones.
Anne, I hope you don't feel like I hijacked your thread.  |
Thanks cindy no of course I do not think that but thank you..also people not knowing thinks if they say a gift it is ok... well they do not care if it is a gift but go by the dollar value..
And sometimes people seem to think that if they put a little higher price the buddie will think oh wow.. but most people know pricing that are on the forums.. so making a toy worth 10.00 that is 4.00 does not matter to people like me.. for I could care less what the customs forum says.. as long as I do not have to pay the 25.00 I paid out to duty on my first and only yt GE i did..I was SHOCKED when I went to pick up the parcel shipped via ups.. it was a very small box.. the buddie had sent two other parcels.. thank god she did it that way.. or it would have killed me..
I do think this is a good thread for people to read.... for when I sent mine to my buddie I sent ups and told them if there is duty I want it paid for by me..I sure did not want my buddie to get that surprise..
Again Cindy thanks... anne
