Shipping from Canada

[noname55]

I ship from Canada, small parcel post here has no tracking only proof that parcel has been accepted by the post office. That kind of shipping is in the range of $10 to $12.

To get a tracking for USA it costs $20 and for rest of the world only way is to send it surface 6 weeks trip at the cost of $40 or more. Most of buyers do not belive it and when I send them the Link to CPC they demand the cheap no tracking way.

I put this in my listings; Shipping Terms: Without Tracking  $10.00 packing/shipping to USA $20 with tracking $12 without tracking for all other countries and $40 with tracking.  $12.00 for Canada with tracking, Please chose the method! I will not be responsible for shipments without tracking number.

Is there a better way? Most of my items are to low price to pay for the shipping.

Which is telling sketchey customers that they can choose the lower cost service and then claim non-arrival, getting the item and the money free.

Yes, you are.

Better is Cookie Jar Insurance.

Because most people are honest, this just means adding a few pennies to every asking price as a sort of premium against problems.

If a problem arises: slow delivery, damage in transit, request for a paid return: the cost is covered by those accumulated pennies.

This works best on low cost items. If you have high value stock, you should look into one off insurers like shipinsurance.

I guess I'll have to check Fedex and Dhl, etc. 

Fun fact.

Couriers who are given shipments to deliver to rural or isolated locations, sub-contract delivery to Canada Post.
