Hi all,
I want to sell some items on ebay. I m confused about shipping. How do ppl estimate shipping cost for canada and US? Whats chippest way to ship? i checked canadapost.ca but i can only find the cost if i know the location. i dont know whats chippest option for US? i checked UPS web but it give me $30 for a small 0.4lb box.
Wat do u use and how do u estimate cost for shipping to US and canada??
Thanks,
Smartbuy

I have used Canada post for small things like Cds , Books, VHS.
UPS for bigger things.
Really, if you are not sure about shipping you can:
1) Put down a flat shipping rate in the description.
The downside is if the actual cost of shipping is more then you pay from you pocket.
2) Put in a stament saying "email me for shipping charges to your location".
(2) is better.
I think ebay also has a shipping calculator. But it works for the USA only.

I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.

Thanks mercury,
I also think (2) is better but i think buyer will be happy if u include shipping charge. i dont know how the hell ppl write shipping cost? may be that comes from experience.
bytheway how is canadapost for small things for US?

I think yes, it comes from experience.
Canada post is just fine for smaller stuff to US.
Faster and cheaper than actually sending it to some parts of Canada.
So these days i put down extra charges to say New foundland or BC. It actually costs more than US.

I think you can go to your nearest post office and find out the shipping charges or try http://www.canadapost.ca." rel="nofollow">LINK Just tell your buyers what canadapost tells you regarding shipping time like a week to 10 days or so. Delivery confirmation is available on some.
