The best and cheapest way for both parties is to do USPS and the mark the package as a gift.
If its commercial shipping then either fedex or purolator ground will be good.
Personally i would stay away from UPS.

I've been wondering this too. What is the cheapest way to ship a CF hood from US to Canada. I tried sending it out via UPS, USPS, and FedEx and everyone wanted ~$800. How does everyone ship out their hoods in group buys and still make a profit?? These prices are insane.

Don't ship UPS to Canadians, we get ripped on Brokerage.

FedEx serves a fairly new service called FedEx International Ground.

It used to be express only, but where UPS wants ~120 to ship, International Ground can ship for about 38-40.

It's a good option for odd-sized items, as they have a larger weight and package size than the postal service

You can try DHL or freight shipping for large items.... I dont know if greyhound has services to canada - but usually you can put big heavy items on a greyhound bus - the only drawback is the receiver has to go to the greyhound station to pick it up.
