| New USPS Postal Rates go into effect May 11, 2009 Ok-- I have a 1/2" thick document (41 pages) from the post office with all the new rates. Hope this information helps 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 First Class rate 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 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. |

Canada is not domestic shipping. It's international.

| Shipping to Canada is relatively easy. You do have to fill out a custom's form CN22 and if you don't list the box as a "gift" and the contents valued under $20.00 then the reciepent of the box will have to pay HUGE CUSTOMS. It would probably be a good thing to have a list of people who would be willing to take on the extra shipping charges and paperwork to ship Internationally. |

Administrator | We appreciate everyone's input and enthusiasm for sharing used goods with your fellow member. The YorkieTalk staff has discussed this idea, and we feel the idea of physically mailing a box is not appropriate for YorkieTalk. In an ideal world, and if shipping was free or members physically handed the box to one another, this might work well, but the costs of shipping, the potential value a member may get out of getting something (getting possible 1 or 2 items worth $10, adding to the box, then shipping it for $10 or more), as well as the delay in time from when the first person gets the box to when the tenth or twentieth or fortieth person gets the box, would not be ideal. We have gotten quite a few good suggestions from members on an alternative idea to sharing/giving away/trading gently used Yorkie-related goods. Here is the thread to that: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sit...ml#post2586776 Feel free to discuss this idea in that thread, as we are closing this one. Thank you.
