What does standard International shipping mean? from China. It says free shipping and that delivery "Varies for items shipped from an international location" I have been reading that I should make sure shipping is via USPS. I live in Canada Thanks. Seems like it is free and will go regular snail mail. Will I  have to pay duties or any other fees?

What does standard International shipping mean?

Hi ..Terms does not identify a forwarding service but free from China usually means cheapest via China Post and 2/3 wks to a month delivery.

 

USPS is United States Postal for items shipping from there.

 

Customs charges can apply to any item valued over $20 canadian and a $9.95 fee charged by Canada Post for collecting ,on delivery..
