Thus a single box across the Atlantic via fast/reliable/trackable delivery, then cheap(er), hopefully faster, non-transcontinental delivery on the receiving end. Or would that break some rule? (FWIW, I'm in the US, so not covered by such a thing).Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603423567802400576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128634.post-21486821739801734752010-04-16T14:02:32.985-04:002010-04-16T14:02:32.985-04:00Hey there Peter, How about a separate rate for you...Hey there Peter, How about a separate rate for your Canadian customers?<br /><br />I know the rates are a heck of a lot cheaper than sending stuff overseas, but more than a ConUS order.<br /><br />A small flat rate priority box to Canada runs about $11 or so. The tracking usually works ok until it gets to customs, and then gets updated once again on delivery.<br /><br />With the brokerage fees and taxes that often get added on when parcels come across the border, things can easily rack up: $100 item + $30 shipping + $18 fees ($6 brockerage + 12% tax)= $148!<br /><br />If there was a $12 shipping option, it would counteract the fees and make a lot of people really happy.<br /><br />Peter, I know you've been really good about this when I've emailed you directly and I thank you for it. If it was built into your online system, though, it would be a whole lot easier.<br /><br />All the best,<br />Benbeardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877689820367442316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128634.post-62055628474880384992010-04-16T13:10:53.648-04:002010-04-16T13:10:53.648-04:00My Ghost showed up in Greece in just 6 days!
