I am thinking of selling a jean jacket internationally, I folded it in a large envelope and went to Canada Post to get an idea of how much it would cost to ship. The cost was high $40s (depending on destination) just to ship it ground! The mail person was even nice enough to print the costs for me because I was a surprised at the amount.
I come back and do a search for more or less similar items selling from Canada. I see stuff at auction or even 'buy it now' of ~$30 and Canada Post shipping in $20 range. If the postage amount I was quoted is correct these sellers will make nothing or in a couple of cases I saw lose money.
What am I missing here? Is there is a shipping trick that I should learn? Thanks 🙂
