Shipping calculator u.s.a never works

The problem is the result of not entering the correct Service for Canada Post for the USA when listing.

 

If shipping to the USA and Worldwide, it is best to divide the shipping section into:

 

- USA : Canada Post Expedited USA (for example) - make sure the weight and measurements match the service selected

 

- Worldwide : Canada Post Small Packet Air (for example)

 

Looking at your listings, I would think most should NOT use calculated shipping but have a fixed shipping cost using Light Packet or Small Packet - once again make sure the weight and measurements match the service selected

And use metric measurements.

 

Canada Post went metric in 1974 and all other systems are approximations.

A millimetre or a gram difference will take your package from one rate card to another. And Murphy's Law will mean that the price is higher
