How much is it to ship to Canada?

Trying to find out how much to ship clothes to Canada?

• I sell clothes on ebay and someone wants to know if I'll send to them in Canada. And they want to know how much it will cost. I'm trying to find out how much it'll cost and is it worth shipping to Canada. Alot of people won't ship there.I don't know why. Does anyone have any information,Thanks!

• Answer:

  You just have to put it in a puffy (Jiffy) bag and ask the Post Office how much. You don't say where you are. If in the UK: you can check: http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/jump2?mediaId=400033&catId=400023 Canada is in Zone 1. Small packes can be up to 2 kg. in weight. Here are typical prices: 0.5 kg. £5.33 1 kg. £10.08 1.5 kg. £15.40 2 kg £19.59 Be sure to get a tracking number and "signed for" recorded delivery. If you are in the USA, then go to: http://ircalc.usps.gov/intl_speed.asp?CID=10054&MailType=package&Pounds=1&Ounces=0 A one-pound package is $2.85 and a 5-pound package is $16.00 Get it insured; get a tracking number; get a signature on delivery. Also be sure that you know your customer and that, even if you receive money via PayPal the credit card used is valid and you won't be charged back. One way is to get a working telephone number and check it on http://www.whitepages.com or another North American phone directory site. There are a lot of scams out there. Canada is not so bad as Nigeria or Spain, but it's not so good either. Don't risk more than you can afford to lose.
