Another shipping question

How would you guys ship a 1/2 visor? What service(s) would be best to send to the States or to Canada? I'm in Vancouver btw. Thanks.

I checked their website but it has no quotes or prices. How expensive would you rate it? (with bubble wrap, boxes and shipping).

Anyone else?

I'd stay away from Mail Boxes Ect. and stores like that. One time it cost me $40 to send in a warranty Synergy. Those types of stores are very overpriced. I'd go to the post office.

Do you prefer to send by mail or courier?

I send everything US Postal Service, but obviously you don't have that in Canada. I'm sure some of the Canadian members have good suggestions, I'm just saying stay away from Mail Boxes Ect. and those stores.

to send a stick it was like 21dollars.

Woah, I remember when Eazy sent me 2 shafts, it was $10 something. I bought this visor from a pro shop last year and I'm just trying to make back half of what I paid and I don't want whoever the buyer is to pay more shipping than he has to.

I agree stay away from MBE. They tried to charge me $44 to send three sticks out within the states, UPS did it for $14.

The UPS store was going to charge us $50 to send one jr OPS from PA to NJ.

I guess I'll ship via Xpresspost from my post office. I did a estimate from Vancouver all the way to Florida and it's only $20. I guess I'll work out the price of the visor/shipping with whoever wants it. Thanks guys. Visor for sale in sell forum btw.

Here is a pretty good site to estimate your shipping costs. I know you can get rates from US to Canada, not sure if you can get Canada to the US but it's worth a look.

I have never had a problem with Canada Post but this holiday season they were being picky because they want to go on strike. Packages from US to Canada had to have full names written out clearly and some other small details.

Canada post is my choice and suggestion.

About 2,600 post office employees have voted 73 per cent in favour of a strike that could begin as early as Dec. 8.

What are the restrictions or policies when it comes to shipping things in a box? Does anyone have to inspect what's inside or something like that?
