FOREIGN SHIPPING (USPS)
-Package weighing less than 4lbs, comics are listed on the Customs portion as PRINTED MATTER. Weight over 4lbs the description is changed to MAGAZINES.
-Canadians love to devalue the comics to avoid Customs import fees and delays. Commonly we ask them if they want a low dollar figure somewhere under $100. If they choose this option, they must agree to accepting responsibility for damage or loss.
FOREIGN SHIPPING (FED EX)
-Package weighing less than 4lbs, comics are listed on the Customs portion as PRINTED MATTER. Weight over 4lbs the description is changed to MAGAZINES.
-We have a FedEx account. Click on SendPro and select the FedEx option. Our account number appears in the select FedEx button.
-SendPro not available: FedEx is just over the freeway. Grab a FedEx sender card out of the USPS file in the file cabinet. Fill it out and bring the package to the FedEx counter. The counter person will ask you the Customs questions and fill in the blanks on their computer screen. Pay cash since I don’t know if the credit card info is up to date on my account.
-USPS is cheaper to Canada than FedEx under 3.8 lbs. FedEx is cheaper over that weight.
-The plan is to pack the least amount of weight, yet provide absolute protection to the comic going foreign.
