I got an order from US for this 32x32 baseplate:
 
Part No: 3811  Name: Baseplate 32 x 32
* 
3811 Baseplate 32 x 32
Parts: Baseplate

Within Canada, I place a cardboard attached to the baseplate and send it with
mailer for liek $2.5 CAD. It has always arrived ok and non-broken.
I wonder if I ship it the same way to USA, would it be as safe as shipped within
Canada?
Of course, I can pack it in a box and it will probably weigh between 250-500g
and shipping cost would be high. This might be overkilling.

To Canadian sellers: how would you ship one single 32x32 baseplate to USA?
To American sellers: How would you ship one single 32x32 baseplate within USA?
As a package or with a mailer (to keep the weight and cost as low as possible).

Thanks

when I ship baseplates, if its all they ordered, I use a folded box which leaves
it sturdy, light, and small

I have rigid mailers for just this purpose. I'd probably send something like
this in a 12x12 rigid mailer with corrugated board on either side for extra protection.
If that didn't quite fit I'd use a box designed for sending vinyl records.

Buy a pizza, open the box, dispose the baseplate preferably under the pizza.

Fill the CN22/23: "Content: Pizza, may contain traces of LEGO".

Ship the whole.

hmmmm, weird! This is what I expect to be written by Nubs. Did you somehow switch
your accounts you two or is your brain got under the influence of high amount
of mushrooms that were included in the pizzas Nubs sent you? No, something is
wrong here.

Note that 1001 is sending out the pizza, he’s not keeping it to eat it.
Maybe the goal is to hook the buyers (first dose is free) but I’m not sure a
real pizza-gang member would be able to let a pizza go without taking a bite
first
