Shipping between US and Canada

[gtulloch at shaw.ca]

I've shipped to the US and been shipped innumerable things and the 
absolute most reliable and inexpensive method is USPS / Canada Post. In 
some cases receipt has been so rapid as to be astonishing, while very very 
occasionally things take quite some time. Only once has anything ever been 
lost, which unfortunately wasn't insured. Ship with confidence, but the 
extra $1 is worth it for insurance.

Regards,
  Gord
