I got a new (0) buyer from MI 48168 USA who bought a:

* 
9509-1 (Inv) Advent Calendar 2012, Star Wars
24 Sets, 2012

What would shipping within the USA cost for such a set, or even from Canada?

Trying to see if I can save him money or not.

Any help is appreciated.

The weight of sealed copy is 378 and so, after packing, it will weight over 500gr.
Even if it weighs 378gr, it will cost for me

$ 14.55 CAD small packet (no tracking no insurance)
$18.45 CAD tracked packet

How do you get those prices?

With Chitchats, it cost me $10.89 but assuming I can pack it to weigh less than
2lbs (about 450gr)

Would your Chitchats prices be different if 2lbs was 900g not 450g?

When I did this shipping estimate I overestimated it’s weight so I did the shipping
estimate with a weight of 850 grams (I couldnt remember how much a cardboard
box and packing weights

Indeed.
With weight 850gr, ChtiChats gives me $16.80 CAD and CanadaPost would give even
a higher quote so I don't know how and from what shipping company you got
$11.30 CAD. Was that a typo?

If the dimensions are correct and not much padding is needed, one should be able
to send it for under $10 in the USA assuming commercial pricing. USPS and UPS
are approximately the same price.

It would cost $10 to ship to Michigan from the Sable Wyvern store in Idaho per
instant checkout. 67+10 + 6% sales tax
