So with the increase in US postage, I need to mail a vcr to canada. What would be the least costly way to mail it out. USPS? Fedex? UPS?
TIA

USPS. Never use Fed-X or UPS to ship out of the country. Your customer will have to pay a huge fee when the item is delivered.

Thank you Cheryl. I am selling a unique VCR that will play any type of cassette, Pal, Ntsc, etc. I really didn't want to ship to canada in light of the new increases. But my client said to do it.

I know what you mean, Rosanne. I'm considering scrapping international because it justs costs too much now. I used to use Global Priority and things got to their destination in short order. Now I just don't know with this First Class International crap.

I have mailed a few packages overseas since May14,it is not that bad -
small packages(3-4 oz) to Europe,Australia is around 3 dollars by first class air.
Intl priority for a book to Australia costs me 11 dollars and arrives in 10 days.
Intl M bag for a 5 lb book to Japan costs me 12 dollars(you know Mbag can take up to 11 lbs at that rate).
So dont give up,USPS is still the best bargain in town.
