Help! How do I do postage for shipping to Canada?
I heard this forum has the most helpful and friendliest people on it and I need help. I need to ship 31 cards - 5 oz- to Canada and want to know what is the least expensive way to ship. I've been to usps site and $10 was first class international rate, but do I have to do a customs form also? I usually ship in US using stamps.com and it was $9.51 but there was a customs form that added $31 fee. If anyone that ships to Canada from US on regular basis, how would you ship the items and what is the normal cost? Thanks to anyone that replies.

Shouldn't be an extra fee for the Customs form. Mark it as a gift with a value of like $10 or so. List the contents as "cards" and nothing more. It shouldn't cost any extra then. Might be best just to do it at your local Post Office and not online.

Thx censored for responding. I didn't think to mark as gift. Other than customs form is there anything else I have to do (besides the label)?

just paid 10 to send seemed expensive but usps did the label and tracking still had to fill out the customs label and it was delivered in a few days

That should be it. Package it up, address it, fill out customs form, pay postage fees, done deal. Shipping to Canada has skyrocketed in price over the last few years now, so the $10-ish range is about right for it.
Even just letters for those of us who do TTM autographs are getting bad. $1.25 each way (and we need to buy Canadian postage for the return, and if you do something larger than cards it's even more).

Thx for the info camsue and censored. Looks like $10 is the standard cost now for what I'm shipping. Must be cheaper to mail from Canada to US as it's $5 shipping for other person to ship to me. (Could be Canadian currency difference?)
