    Default Mailing to Canada

    Gonna send some mystery sticks to Drew tomorrow. Does US Priority mail work for Canadian mailings? If not, what is the best way to go?

    International mail is different from priority. You have to fill out customs forms at a main P.O branch. Make sure you declare a low value so he doesn't pay taxes on it. $10 - 15 works best. Say it's a "handmade gift" or "wedding video" or "art supplies."

    Like said above Priority is domestic only. Express is international but is usually very expensive. Parcel Post is usually the best route, takes two weeks or so to get there though.

    Yeah, Global Priority is the best.
    Prices depend on location in Canada. Buts it usually not that bad.
    Around 10-12 bucks roughly.

    Just to add a bit... In the last week I have had 5 packages shipped from the states. The ones shipped airmail, all took over 2 weeks. The ones that were shipped GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL all made it here in under a week. From the postage prices, it is not very much more expensive (one or 2 dollars more). I would reccomend this for anybody shipping to Canada. And the 2 cigar packages that I recieved were all declared a value of 10 dollars and said collectible gift, or promotional merchandies. Absolutely no issues with customs.

    I declared a package as humidor product and a value of 19 dollars and it went through without a hitch too. But IMO, Global Priority is the best to go with.

    I sent out a package to drew_goring on 2/17...global priority was only 8.50 USD. The big old sign said 4-6 business days but the lady at the desk said to expect it to be closer to 4 than 6, so we'll see how full of shit she is.
