Help with shipping FROM Canada

[nogrules]

Hello Everyone,

I was surfing the forums for my answer couldn't find it.
I want to start listing some games, and I want to ship within Canada and the USA, so I was playing with the Canada post find a rate and the shipping seems really high.....from $20-60 just for a small box that ways 2pounds.Is this accurate?

Are there any Canadian Sellers that can help me out? Is there a cheaper alternative? 'cause if I have to charge that much for one game I doubt any one would buy. lol
Any advise would be great.

Thank you in advance

I'm not Canadian... I live in the US, but this post made me curious.

I did a little searching and found this:
Alternative Mailing Methods for Canadians Shipping to the US (http://www.mymommybiz.com/canada/altshipping.html)

Don't know how useful this one would be; but I also found:
10 Strategies for Cheap Shipping to Canada and the US (http://anyboxtoday.com/blog/cheap-shipping-to-Canada-US.htm)

It seems from the few discussions I have read; that Canada Post and other shipping companies may be willing to work with you to lower
shipping costs, but it sounds as if you would have to be an established business with fairly frequent bulk shipments to receive a discount :/

Hopefully you receive replies that may be more helpful from actual Canadian residents; as I'd like to see more items listed from those abroad.

Thanks Troglodyte for the links!
I played with all the different couriers and there is quite a difference is price.

and they are all cheaper then canada post!

but I'm still sitting at the $10-$30 mark.

I'm sure this thread will catch the eye of a canadian seller and they will fill us in on the secrets.

I was on another forum and this very useful guide was posted for shipping from Canada.

Hopefully someone will find it as useful as I did.
