    Hi Joe. I live in Canada and that does seem very high. What method of shipping were you trying to use.?

    As far as I know you can buy those pre paid boxes in various sizes from $5.99 for the little ones (good for a half dozen sticks right up to big boxes that you could put your whole stock into for $29.99.

    When shipping here you might want to consider shipping as "Collectible bands" and with a value of around $10. Or the recipient will be dinged on this end for more then the listed value. Hope this helps.

    well i was going to use usps and put a value of $5 on it, it going to ontario, the cheapest i seen was $25.++ with tracking so im not sure what im missing, i intended to use a small priority box but had to order them since my local place has none, so im going to check around and see what comes up again

    Whenever I ship to Canada I just go with international first class without tracking, generally it runs about $5 or less. Are you using the shipping label service on the usps website? If you are, that is probably what's fouling it up, I'd recommend taking the pack to your local post office and mail it that way, there's no reason why it should cost that much.
