·11 months agoYep, I'd say that's right. I tried a US shipment, no rates found.

·11 months agoSo my branch wasn't very helpful with my most important question - what are the shipping rates like? Are they similar or more or less on average compared to USPS?
If anyone is going to use this service and can share some insight I'd appreciate it!

Postage itself not too bad considering size and weight.
Thanks for doing that!

OP11 months agoAnything COO China is tough, for US I am just going to focus on USA made and maybe high margin stuff from lower tariff places. Getting very picky about sourcing!

OP11 months agoCrazy that having CUSMA makes it more difficult.

·11 months agoVery interesting development. I have a number of questions so hopefully I will post them and the answers here when I go on Monday.
Is anyone going to take advantage of this considering Ebays banner warning on CA listings to the US customer?
