I ship to USA using Canada Postal service and I order parts from the US and the cheapest and best shipping is when the company uses USPS. Large items like hoods etc. are almost impossible to ship unless your rich.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

from the us to canada use usps ground, depending on what it is go into the post office and get the proper size and weight, don't use the online preparceled boxes, they cost more in most cases.

Canada Post VIA USPS

Never ship to Canada with UPS, we cry when the customs bill comes in.

100% agree. And now UPS don't even accept cash for CASH ON DELIVERY? That's logical... :confused2:

FedEx Ground is decent for shipping larger items, and I'm not just saying that because I work there haha.

If you are shipping something fragile, don't bother putting "fragile" on it. Instead, try "Please toss underhanded only". Worked at Gateway for a bit, which handled about 70% of all international mail coming into Canada...let's just say both CPC and CBSA personnel are not exactly gentle with the packages...
