Par4QC I don't believe I know you or your business, but I recognize stupid comments when I read them.

      SMT but I recognize stupid comments when I read them.

      I think you've proven, over the (at least) past 20 years, that that is a lie.
      But, you probably never proofread your responses before posting.

        I used Pirate Ship 2x this week. Was a liitle cheaper than Ship Station for me.

        Just shipped a 2+# box to Canada via UPS for under $19 using PayPal Shipstation. Same prices as Pirateship.

        (Very surprised with expected delivery date only 4 days out. We'll see. 🤔)

          Might be good for you but for the buyer, not so much.
          Unless you paid all the customs fees already...

              Spuzz what are the customs fees? I did see via pirateship there is a cheap option to shop to you guys but always wondered the customs cost🤔

                  ode what are the customs fees?

                  Usually none with USPS.
                  Either an arm or a leg with UPS and sometimes Fedex.

                      Spuzz that's why I asked....as USPS= none and yes for the other two......what gives....is this a govt charge ? Assuming USPS and Canada post just call it even a d don't bother with customs but why bust the balls of the end user when using the private company's 🤔

                          ode is this a govt charge

                          Nope.
                          Gouging by the couriers.
                          I've been jacked once by each of them, and have personally seen many parcels get sent back due to the extra fees being more than the item cost in the first place.

                            He was quoted at $32 for shipping last week, but then I rechecked, using UPS, and it was under $19.

                            Nothing was mentioned about any customs fees. Perhaps he doesn't realize.
                            I did put value at $25.

                                  Par4QC Perhaps he doesn't realize.

                                  Likely.
                                  I bet the fees are at least 30 bucks CDN, as a guess.
                                  Hope I am wrong.

                                      Par4QC I just messaged him to see if he knows.

                                      Maybe he knows something I don't?
                                      It has happened before, once or twice.

                                          Spuzz I've always used Priority, so this would be new to me also. I was surprised when I saw delivery time only 4 days. Back when I was shipping up there every week, I had hella luck getting things delivered in 3-5 days, Priority. They must 'keep a list' as it started out being 14 days every time. But after 50 times or so, it suddenly dropped.

                                            Spuzz He just got back to me and said he didn't realize that. But did wonder why sometimes he had to pay duties and other times not.

                                                Par4QC live and learn.....will be a good test run😉....and thankfully they are his fees to pay 🙃

                                                    That's how I learned about UPS LOL
                                                    Almo sent me a "free" set of Bang iron heads ages ago that cost me more than the heads in fees.

                                                        I just sold a club on eBay that is going to Asia. I just realized the Global Shipping Program has been replaced by a new international program. The GSP was super easy. I hope the new one is too. Doesn’t look bad from what I’ve read. Print the USPS label and send the club.
