Hello again, thanks everyone for responding to my questions. bricklink is a great
community.

I am trying to setup instant shipping quotes in Canada.

As I am unable to try to buy from myself for the sole purpose of seeing how the
shipping calculates can anyone tell me how they gain comfort around their shipping
quotes in the system?

Thanks
Tosh

I was comfortable last time I shipped a mechanic, not sure he was.

If a mechanic’s weight is like their hours, I hope you paid flat rate

I use a very simple, flat rate shipping system: $0.00 USD/CAD

But even when I sold parts, I used a simple rate chart based on USPS prices,
with a few different shipping prices based on the weight of the package and different
prices for domestic and international orders.

You could always use invoices until you get a good feel for shipping prices.
