My experience with international shipping is that it's often a bloody pain in the ass (no lifestyle reference intended). Canada is no exception. Attempting to ship things to my parents and relatives has resulted in all sorts of problems and delays with customs. I even had problems shipping things to myself in Toronto from LA! My relatives have had occasional similar problems shipping things to me. If anyone wants to charge a little extra for international shipment Canada to US, US to Canada, France to Argentina, whatever, well, I understand.
