I am trying to start shipping to Canada but it looks like just the price of shipping
(not including materials) will be about $16.50. Is there a cheaper way to ship
to Canada from the US?

Pirate ship simple export rate

Specifically their simple export rate. You have to call them to activate it and
it’s the cheapest option to ship to Canada

shipping from US to Canada is expensive, not much you can do about it.

Just be careful regardless who you use to ship from USA to Canada. Because no
one wants to have an avoidable argument with a customer.
In the last few months I have had maybe 50 shipments from various states in America
to Alberta Canada.
I can state this....USPS/Canada post takes on average only 1 day longers than
the major carriers like UPS/DHL/FEDEX etc. so time wise they are all comparable.
Cost wise USPS is slightly more expensive than the major carriers.
Major carriers cost a hell of a lot more in the long run as neither USPS or Canada
Post charge "brokerage fees".
The major carriers charge anywhere between 125.00-275.00 for each and every parcel
a Canadian receives as a brokerage fee. Then tax and a duty fee which is 5% depending
where in canada you live, Nova Scotia is 15%.
I tell anyone shipping to me from the USA to ship USPS or don't ship to me
at all. Only because of brokerage fees.
I am advised that pirate ship can give good rates through USPS. I don't live
in America so I am not 100% certain. But you need to avoid the major carriers
if you start shipping to Canada and stick with snail mail......what is an extra
day to save between 125-275.00. They are flat rates too. If the package you send
is only $5.00 a brokerage fee can still be charged.
I had to learn this the hard way myself. This is why a lot of american guys will
only ship via USPS and pass on the extra cost to the Canadian buyer.....or not
deal with Canada at all.

To the best of my knowledge pirate ship simple export rate is thru usps so it
should be all good with just the normal $9.95 fee and import costs via Canada

Most likely Canada post as I’ve gotten some from the USA via that which charge

Canada post from America charges me 5% tax on the value of the declared item
and a duty fee which is generally between 6-10$. I have never been charged anything
else over dozens of transactions.

Thats my point Nubs, but I am suggesting American sellers ensure that to be the
case through pirate ship. Imagine sending a buyer 20.00 of parts and it becomes
150.00 on delivery lol. It has happened before.

The way around the brokerage fee for Canadians is to go to the CBSA officer at
the local airports in whatever province and self declare and you can pay the
tax and duty and no brokerage fee.
But the truth is....who the hell wants to put themselves through that when they
can just wait 1 more day for USPS/Canada post.

Up to $20 CAD, there is no custom fees, and so no brokerage fees.
I have self declared my packages a few times. This way, I avoided brokerage fees
and didn't pay 7% PST and only paid 5% GST.
The main difference lies on the fact that when shipped with USPS, it will be
handled by CanadaPost and they let packages go with no charge when it is toys
(about 3 out of 4 packages but I think it depends on a few factors the size and
value of package, and the shipping method too like weather it is with tracking,
whether it is express,... For example, I have received many packages without
tracking and they never charged me for them!).
But if a package is shipped with Fedex, UPS, DHL,..., they charge you 100% of
times!

You consider that not every Bricklink user deals in smaller sets or even parts.
By your own information you attached my deals would attract brokerage fees over
100.00. So now you can be sure where that was coming from.
In regards me not responding to your posts if I don't like what you are saying.....Practice
what you preach, you were responding to me.
But the truth probably lays in the middle, you were talking a normal lego deal
of 0-200$. I don't purchase things under the high hundreds in America, and
i'm often in the thousands.
I once got charged a total of almost 600$ on 5 different orders coming from the
States by UPS all in the same delivery. It royally sucked, but I wont turn away
the best part of 15k in lego sets I had purchased/paid for.
But just to let you know there are no hard feelings I noticed you have a BL19002.
Providing the set is new/sealed, the box is in great condition (im a collector
not a builder) Im interested.
I will do a bricklink order and I will pay by EMT to save you the Paypal fee.
But I want you to change your price from being the most expensive on the american

I am trying to start shipping to Canada but it looks like just the price of shipping
(not including materials) will be about $16.50. Is there a cheaper way to ship
to Canada from the US?
Pirate ship simple export rate
I tried pirate ship and that was the rate it gave me...
Just be careful regardless who you use to ship from USA to Canada. Because no
one wants to have an avoidable argument with a customer.
In the last few months I have had maybe 50 shipments from various states in America
to Alberta Canada.
I can state this....USPS/Canada post takes on average only 1 day longers than
the major carriers like UPS/DHL/FEDEX etc. so time wise they are all comparable.
Cost wise USPS is slightly more expensive than the major carriers.
With Pirate ships, export rates, it starts with $9.99 USD up to 0.5 lbs. Cheaper
than any other carrier. Their rates are the cheapest up to 4lbs.
Major carriers cost a hell of a lot more in the long run as neither USPS or Canada
Post charge "brokerage fees".
The major carriers charge anywhere between 125.00-275.00 for each and every parcel
a Canadian receives as a brokerage fee. Then tax and a duty fee which is 5% depending
where in canada you live, Nova Scotia is 15%.
I tell anyone shipping to me from the USA to ship USPS or don't ship to me
at all. Only because of brokerage fees.
I am advised that pirate ship can give good rates through USPS. I don't live
in America so I am not 100% certain. But you need to avoid the major carriers
if you start shipping to Canada and stick with snail mail......what is an extra
day to save between 125-275.00. They are flat rates too. If the package you send
is only $5.00 a brokerage fee can still be charged.
Up to $20 CAD, there is no custom fees, and so no brokerage fees.
I have self declared my packages a few times. This way, I avoided brokerage fees
and didn't pay 7% PST and only paid 5% GST.
The main difference lies on the fact that when shipped with USPS, it will be
handled by CanadaPost and they let packages go with no charge when it is toys
(about 3 out of 4 packages but I think it depends on a few factors the size and
value of package, and the shipping method too like weather it is with tracking,
whether it is express,... For example, I have received many packages without
tracking and they never charged me for them!).
But if a package is shipped with Fedex, UPS, DHL,..., they charge you 100% of
times!
I had to learn this the hard way myself. This is why a lot of american guys will
only ship via USPS and pass on the extra cost to the Canadian buyer.....or not
deal with Canada at all.
That is not the UPS site that information is wrong, would you like me to show
you a few UPS labels. What I said is correct what you displayed is not UPS is
it.
Secondly if you had of read all the posts instead of trying to be clever we had
already discussed self declaration and the CBSA.
Anything else before you wish to post and do nothing more than denigrate others?
I wish to post and do nothing more than denigrate others and I am trying being

If you see them this way, please do not read the rest of this post and my other
posts.
You consider that not every Bricklink user deals in smaller sets or even parts.
By your own information you attached my deals would attract brokerage fees over
100.00. So now you can be sure where that was coming from.
In regards me not responding to your posts if I don't like what you are saying.....Practice
what you preach, you were responding to me.
But the truth probably lays in the middle, you were talking a normal lego deal
of 0-200$. I don't purchase things under the high hundreds in America, and
i'm often in the thousands.
I once got charged a total of almost 600$ on 5 different orders coming from the
States by UPS all in the same delivery. It royally sucked, but I wont turn away
the best part of 15k in lego sets I had purchased/paid for.
But just to let you know there are no hard feelings I noticed you have a BL19002.
Providing the set is new/sealed, the box is in great condition (im a collector
not a builder) Im interested.
I will do a bricklink order and I will pay by EMT to save you the Paypal fee.
But I want you to change your price from being the most expensive on the american
continent to close to the cheapest. If you are interested message me privately
and it will happen
lol what even is this weird overreacting humble brag?

Don't bother.
It isn't worth it unless you are a megaseller, even with the simple export
rate.
Here are the rates:
½ lb $9.99
1 lb $12.99
2 lb $16.99
3 lb $20.99
Plus you are put in an awkward situation when buyers want you to lie on customs
forms, which is a federal crime.

Here is one of my recent experiences - had a buyer in Canada who wanted 350
parts ( 120 lots) but asked for a quote - it took me 2 days to pull & get the
shipping rate , even with Simple Export Rate , then they let 3 days lapse and
the quote was cancelled.
HUGE PIA.
2nd example- had a buyer from Canada who didn't use quote, wanted 125 parts,
sent invoice with shipping - buyer had a fit, wanted to cancel. said shipping
prices too high.
3. Buyers will ask for you to ship as a gift or lie on the customs form as to
how much the order is valued at - Canada buyers have to pay import duties for
anything over $20 CAD.
Trust me , you are better off selling in the US. I changed my settings, I no
longer ship to Canada.

That's why I have automatic checkout for Canada. Manuel invoicing seems
like it would be a pain especially when dealing with new buyers.

Because he only speaks Spanish?
I don't know where Spanish came into this. Mainly because of new buyers
not knowing Bricklink rules regarding invoices and canceling when the shipping
charges are shown.

It was a small joke about a typo I think. Manuel is a common Hispanic name.

Never, never, never pick an order until it's paid for. Change your order
settings so that the weight is shown and add some weight for packaging. That
will get you close enough.

Cancel no, NPB yes.

Put a statement in your terms that you won't do this, near the top of the
page. That will get rid of most of them. Report the rest.

Not sure why the OP thinks there is this vast untapped market in Canada. I'm
selling off some of my on personal collection, with sets/pieces mostly from the
1980s - early 2000s. I used to get alot of international orders for these items
but these orders have cratered due to the significant increase in international
shipping costs, including Canada.
USA, Texas
Canada, Ontario
United Kingdom, England
