Your best price and dependable service would be Canada Post.

 

Private companies like UPS , DHL or FedEx may be faster (a Good Thing), be more clearly tracked (a Reassuring Thing) and might seem to be cheaper (not necessarily a True Thing).

 

But your buyer will pay duty, tax and a hefty customs brokerage fee when the private courier delivers. He will be unhappy.

If you decide to go with a private courier, look into their Express services which seem to cost more but include at least the customs brokerage fees.

 

Keep in mind that the cost of shipping is paid by the buyer, not by the seller. If the cost is clearly stated, the buyer pays the shipping (but usually not customs or sales tax) when they order the item. If the price is too high, they will not pay. This is not a Bad Thing. It is a Bad Thing to have unhappy buyers.

 

Not every sale is worth having.

 

In the short run, as a new seller, don't sell overseas. And frankly, don't do any selling until you have built some feedback by buying both in Canada and internationally. This will give you an idea of the buying experience and also some protection against scammers who prey on new sellers.

OMG! Don't ship overseas by Surface!! That is really asking for trouble.

 

I would strongly advise you to cancel any bids from overseas buyers immediately. Yes it is painful, but the troubles you can get into can be fatal to selling here.
