I am terribly confused with their shipping options. I don't know what to choose nor do I know what any of those 23409823709 options are. lol They have mainly Fedex and USPS. Can someone please fill me in about the differences.

I live in Ontario Canada, so what would be the best/cheapest option and how is it different from the other options? I tried my postal code and the cheapest one I found was USPS first class mail international at about $4 while everything else costs me $34+ (I don't understand why international shipping is cheaper than the Canadian options)

Thanks for any help, greatly appreciated

I ordered from them a while ago and picked the cheapest option, which as First Class International. It was really quick. I don't really know about Canadian Post though.

I'm in the US but I have a lot of experience with the PO/shipping so maybe I can help you out. Unless you're really worried about getting the package or have had problems with packages getting to you, I'd just go with usps first class. It shouldn't take long at all to get to you. Recently our system was overhauled and airmail got called first class (just like it is domestically). Except if it's a heavy package where it goes priority but that's another story. Bottom line is that usps first class is just regular mailing.

IMHO it's not worth paying the extra for fedex. The package shouldn't take long to go through the mail. The only thing is that fedex is insured while the first class isn't. But I feel that the companies should replace anything that's lost and that you can take it up with your credit card company if not. So I think it's not up to you to insure. But that's my opinion and experience Does that make sense? Sorry if I overcomplicated it!

lol Ya that does make sense. I didn't know the dif between Fedex and Usps before.

Our mail has become much more complicated since the rate increase last year and it's increasing again may 12th. Fedex is an independent company, but apparently expensive for international shipping

So it's gonna be even more for USPS after may 12? If so i might make my order now, I was gonna wait until the end of may.

The actual usps rates are going up on may 12th. Whether or not companies will raise their shipping rates is up to them. Many eat the extra costs, at least for awhile. I know that last year's rate increase was HUGE and caught a lot of people off guard. I'm not sure what impacts this one will have.
