I have a buyer who is willing to purchase an item from me, and he lives in Canada.

How much will the shipping cost if you live in the East Coast and sending the item to a place in Canada?

I need some advice.

Thanx. :)

Depends greatly on the size of the box. A padded envelope could go for $1-3. A tiny box about the same as a padded envelope. A 12" x 12" box would be $13.25 minimum even for under 1lb. (that is airmail which tends to run very close to or even cheaper than ground which takes up to 6 weeks)

Well, I recently sent one loose figure with no accessories to Canada in a small paddded envelope. Usually it costs $.49 (maybe $.60) in the US. It cost $.72 to Canada
It will just take longer no matter what

The cost is practically the same.
I send whatever it is airmail.
and On the customs form I declare its value as $1 and as a gift.
So that the person reciving it doesn't have to pay any customs fees.

we both pay enough in shipping fees as it is.

I have sent a couple of packages to Canada, really no difference in the cost IMO.:D
