No question the charge is excessive. Canada Post has all kinds of different rates, my guess is that the seller asked the post office for the two day guaranteed rate and they quoted him the $12 figure. I'd go back to the seller and ask him how much the shipping would be if he put the two cards in top loaders with some cardboard and then put into a regular envelope and then mailed regularly. For a regular letter to the U.S. (up to one ounce) the cost is 89 cents.
FWIW, US based sellers try to do the same thing to me all the time. Shipping to a US address is $2.00, but to Canada they want $10 or more...very upsetting.

BTW, it's Canadians not Canadiens....the Canadiens is the nickname of the Montreal NHL hockey team.
