Let me explain what I am shipping, and maybe that will help. I used the "OT" in the subject line because I am shipping drum equipment (since my surgery I am unable to play and am selling my stuff). It is a pair of bass drum pedals. The box weighs 20 lbs and has a value of about $200 USD.

Don't be afraid to ship to Canada, just don't ship UPS. In fact, for small parcels, the post office is the way to go. If you want a private carrier, , then Global Logistics is handled by Purolator in Canada, and they are excellent. Just don't ship UPS. I have had goos success with Fed/Ex. Just don't ship via UPS. We pretty much have to import every manufactured good that we want here anyway, so shipping in isn't a problem, unless some impediment is put in the way of the importation. UPS is (in my opinion) an impediment to efficient trade and commerce into this country. William Robb
