Thread: Ridiculous postage charges. What's the worst you've had?

I just checked the web site, the cost for a small box is showing as $39.97 CDN for a padded envelope $7.40. The seller might not want to take a chance it won't get broken in an envelope. Maybe I did something wrong, but if so, the seller may have made the same mistake. Shipping with Canada Post is insane, I can get something from the UK for much less then it costs to ship from only a few hundred kilometers away.

EDIT: Bruno makes an excellent point.The cost for a registered and signed for envelope is $27+
