    Anybody ever ship anything to Canada? Just wondering what the cheapest most reliable way to ship a fishfinder to Canada would be? Anybody have an idea of what it will cost? I’m in Wisconsin… he’s in Manitoba… Any advice would be great thanks!

    USPS…..I took the box to the post office. There is a form you have to fill out. I think it is for duty tax. I have shipped 8-10 items that I sold on ebay with no problem.

    Looks like USPS is the way I will go then! Thanks for the input! Is it still reasonably priced to ship to Canada (5-10 bucks more I would guess?) or is it pretty outragous?

    I just shipped a doz arrows USPS to Norway (Europe) for $12. How bad could it be to Canada?

    USPS will be the least expensive (about $10) and they do a pretty good job. You will be looking at 6-10 days to get your package there. If there is any type of issues with the shipment you will not get resolution very quickly and the tracking isn’t so great. UPS will be more expensive (about $20) but will get it there in 3-5 days and is fully trackable. One thing to consider is when you sell to another country on eBay or any other way be sure to let the buyer know that duties and taxes will be collected upon delivery and are their responsibility to pay.
