Out of Province is even worse. It cost me $50 to ship 4 neca figures to Vancouver. Mean while to mail a box of the same size it only cost me $25 WITH TRACKING to California. Unreal. You're best to just sell on Ebay.com (if you're selling on there) and sell to U.S buyers. It's no wonder the Independent seller market is so huge in the states and absolute trash here.

That's what I do. All my sales are to the US. I use a company called Chit Chats that basically takes it across the border for me and it's basically USPS shipping price. It's cheaper for me to ship from BC to Ontario shipping from the US. I can actually compete with the US sellers because of this.

I find the Canada Post flat rate shipping boxes to be a rather good deal.
$20-25 ships you loose figures or a few boxes of Marvel Legends. Fast and with tracking.

Yeah I have done that a few times and the option is good......to a degree.



One item I shipped from Ottawa to Toronto, granted at Christmas, took over a month to arrive. Items I just boxed and shipped at the same time took less time.


However as prices keep going up the flat rate boxes are a better deal. Good luck getting them at local post offices though, it seems everyone is on to that now and they are rarely in stock by me.
