BobbyShipping is one of the largest problems we face as buyers.
I know that when I purchase from the US, some people just figure is double when it is almost the same as it is shipping within the US.
However, due to the steady rate increases at Canada Post, shipping is no longer a bargin but for the cards you questioned, 2 bux would suffice.
Many post offices automatically charge for air mail without giving ground shipping as an option, so shipping is usually twice as much.
When I wrote my first book in 2003, it would cost $2.50 to ship to the US. Today the same book is over $5.00.
My new book is 2.5lbs, shipping from Toronto to Michigan (4 hours away) is $16.00. Canada Post rates are killing us and they have taken advantage of the large ebay transactions between country's.
The starting salary for a postman in Canada is just under $20.00 a hour...holy unskilled labor Batman.
