What is the best way to ship comics or similar items from Canada to US with delivery confirmation?

What is the most cost-effective method to ship comics via Canada Post to the USA with a Paypal-accepted proof delivery?

Size-wise, I am looking at shipping items in large document envelopes with cardboard protection. They are in the gray area where the value is too much for me to feel comfortable shipping without some protection from scammers, but not enough to spend $50+ on shipping.

I am having a very hard time definitively finding the answer on the Canada Post site, and the people at the post office seem not to know either. The answers I have found so far seem outrageously exhorbitant.

We do get some discounts on postage from SnapShip- you have to sign up for the SmallBusiness Solutions card. And if Shippo! labels work for you there are further discounts there.

Both are selling Canada Post shipping labels.

 

I would add that you should use a poly envelope (bubble or not) which is both waterproof and very hard to open.

 

 

The HS code for books is 4901.99

 

By the way, I would be remiss not to mention that Canada Post does accept postage stamps as payment for their services, and you can buy mint postage stamps on eBay at greater discounts than either SnapShip or Shippo offers.
