Offering Multiple Shipping Options to USA

[toysnmoreca]

Hey, just wondering if it's possible to offer both Canada Post and Fedex as shipping options to US buyers as I've noticed the rates for large items are generally cheaper with Fedex.

check out a company called netparcel much cheaper to the us. also if u live in a town with a stallion express they are even better as they take the package across the boarder for u and ship it using domstic shipping.

You should be able to but you will have to use a flat rate for both as calculated shipping doesn't work with Fedex.

My recommendation is to pick the most suitable carrier in your opinion and just offer that. Buyers will almost always choose the cheapest option if they have a choice, buyers who pick the more expensive option will expect a "better" service (faster) and that may not be true.

I see you are in the Port Perry area, if you travel south or west on occasion you should look into ChitChats (Pickering/Markham) or Stallion Express (Markham), either can offer you cheaper and faster service to the US and lower rates for cross-Canada.

Thank you for the advice and info. For now ill be sticking with single carrier and looking into alternative options to help lower costs. 🙂
