GENERAL SHIPPING NOTES ALL COUNTRIES

I am located in CANADA
As a many people have asked, I am answering some questions in advance.

YES shipping on items under 1kg to Canada costs more than to USA. 
A small package to anywhere in the USA is around $6, while to myself costs over $8 and to some parts of Canada is over $15. This is because Canada post has only parcel rate in Canada but honors small packet rates to USA and other countries.
Shipping on large items to the USA can be very expensive compared to shipping rates within USA using
I try to ship once or twice a week with Canada Post. If you need faster service please email me. I combine shipping where possible. A quick rule of thumb is cost for higher price shipping of item plus about ½ of second item rate. Please inquire BEFORE winning multiple items for combined shipping rate.

CANADA SHIPPING

Parcel items are insured up to $100.  Additional insurance may be purchased for $1 per $100 to a maximum of $5000.
Flat shipped letter-post items are not insured. (DVD,CD,Video Game, etc) Tracking is available for letter-post items at cost of $7.65

USA & INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING NOTES

Items under1kg can be shipped either Small packet or Expedited Parcel.
Items over 1kg can only be shipped via Parcel. 
Unfortunately ebay only allows me to show 3 shipping options.  Others are available upon request Ebay shipping calculator does not allow USPS rates to be shown as I am located in Canada. At times I will wait a week or more, then ship from Buffalo, NY instead as I have found parcels arrive much faster for many customers and do not incur duties.  It is a 4 hour round trip so only done with enough parcels to justify time and gas. Small and light packet items have no tracking number.  Canada Post will not process a claim on small or light packet orders untill 60 days after mailing

USA SHIPPING

Canada Post small packet ground option can take up to 3 weeks for mainland.
Expedited Parcel items include tracking and insurance up to $100.  Additional insurance may be purchased for $1.26 per $100 to a maximum of $1000.

Shipping dates from Buffalo are as follows

October 9

October 21

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Small Packet ground option can take up to 8 weeks depending on location.  Air rates from Canada are VERY expensive.  Air rates from USA usually only cost slightly more than ground option from Canada and take less than 2 weeks.  Email me country for an airmail rate quote.  In case of lost parcel Canada Post will not begin a claim until 75 days after shipping date.  If for any reason this happens to you file a not received item dispute at 60 days.
