Canada to Australia

[BEAUMONTS]

I have to ship a CGC comic from Canada to Australia, it's packed in a large "fedex" sized box. Shipping quote was 45 surface 2 to three months or 77 air. Are there any other alternatives.

Are you close to the border? I live in Abby, BC. It's a 3 minute drive to the border from my house. I ship EVERYTHING from the US... much cheaper!

Nope. Canadian shipping is brutal.

 

You could send it to the States and then have someone send it to Australia. Would be cheaper but worth the trouble? Probably not.

Have to agree.

 

I just sent a box with 3 slabs for just under $30

Hey B,

 

Go to the post office, get a Small Biz card(free and immed.)... shipping a 11x15x4" package that weighs 2lb will then cost you $28.65 (Small Packet Air).

Thanks for the info, I have the Venture small business card and used it to get the quote. I was shocked with those prices.

I am ALWAYS shocked when I walk into a Canadian post office! It is amazing how a package that weighs 2lb can be shipped from Wa to FL for like $3.00! To ship the same package from BC to Ab would be roughly $12!!! Something wrong there...

 

Small Packet Air is the way to go if you can.

So, what happened? What did you go with and what did it cost?
