I am a new seller based in Canada. I have been researching shipping costs for a while now and was wondering if any other Canadian sellers have better rates then the ones I found. I am shipping magazines (14"x11"x 1") (1 lb or less) and ads (14"x11"x .5") (less than 1 lb). The best shipping method I could find for DOMESTIC with Canada Post is Oversized Letter (registered) $12.55. For USA it would be Tracked Packet - USA with Delivery confirmation and Insurance $16.75. International rates were over $40. I have read articles from other sellers stating lower rates or flat rates but these don't include delivery confirmation or insurance. If anyone has lower rates or other methods of shipping I would really appreciate your input.
I hear you prarie, but my ads sell for so little and there is so much competition that I can't have those high mailing rates, need to cut the cost somehow so have to go with Lettermail. Anything over $20 I would track probably.
