Shipping large and heavy items to the US from Canada

[kfj1955]

I am hoping to sell some items thru ebay from Canada to the US.

The weight is about 60 pounds.

I usually just buy on ebay.  BUT am hoping to sell to another ebayer that I am in contact with and want to do everything thru ebay and Paypal.  

Can anyone suggest a method of shipping (there is no rush) and need confirmed delivery.

I hope someone here can help.

There are freight forwarders who specifically will run your parcels across the border and ship from there.

You will see many mentions of ChitChat Express here, but there are others. Stallion is one, I believe.

Full disclosure, I haven't used any of them.

Shippo also allows you to print UPS labels.

A couple of months ago I shipped a car's transmission (~70lbs) from Vancouver to Detroit for about $120.  I bought the UPS label through Netparcel.  Delivered in 5 days. YMMV.

Hi

Great info.

Does the buyer see the shipping cost to his location on the item page or, do you have to calculate it and inform the buyer of the cost every time?

Thank you
