Even the USPS is not cheap. This is a 4 pound package from Philadelphia
to British Columbia or to California. Duties are not specified.
Shipments w/in USA can be much less if you use flat-rate boxes for 2-day
Priority mail. Package dimensions were 12"x6"x7"
5 days to Canada $27.00
7 days w/in USA $9.25
1-3 days to Canada $51.50
2 days w/in USA $13.25
flat-rate 2-day about $8.25
The other thing is that people seem to be horrible at following
directions for calculating shipping costs even with the automated
systems. Specify one flat rate for shipping, and they just pay it. Give
them a shipping calculator and you end up exchanging six email
communications. And then there are the people who want you to ship
things to places even UPS won't go.
