Title: Shipping to Canada?
Post by: Longcruise on May 01, 2023, 07:02:25 PM

Im needing a bit of information regarding shipping a bow to Canada.  I've never shipped there before.  Is there any rigamarole over and above additional shipping costs.?

Standard custom forms you use for any foreign country. It's not a big deal.... But warning! Do not use UPS. They charge their customers extra up there.  Use USPS  Priority mail.   Kirk

Thanks Kirk, I found that my USPS calculator is able to calculate the cost to the Canadian Postal code.  Was simpler than I thought.  I suppose any forms needed are done at the PO?

I use click and ship on USPS site… it’s pretty simple to print out the forms and shipping labels and have pre paid postage, and insurance already done. I even schedule a pick up and rarely even go to the PO….

The more shipping you do, the easier it gets. I’ve shipped bows all over the world using this system successfully….  Kirk
