Depending on whom it is too, but all packages I have shipped to me here in Canada from the US I always ask for USPS. Then depending on value I get various methods within the United States Parcel Service such as trackable and insured etc. Although I believe recent changes have happened and I have not recieved anything since then.

Recent changes have made a big impact on shipping. No more surface mail option anywhere and the parcel handoff from the USPS to Canada Post is s-l-o-w.... (where I work we ship internationally every day- lots of Canada packages taking way too long to get there.)

I ship to Canada every few days and use First Class Mail International. Inexpensive and reasonably fast. No insurance, tracking, etc... though and no option to print postage online. All the other methods are very expensive but you do get more services.
While shipping to Canada is a piece of cake I have a real issue getting anything right going to Atlanta for some reason <g> Must be a mental block or something. (Private joke Jonedangerousli will appreciate <g>)

A single razor shipped to Canada airmail should only be a couple dollars. If in a small global priority envelope which used to be $4.25, it is now $11.00. If in a regular small priority box, it is $20.00.
Have fun.

i like to have my razors sent USPS first-class mail international. it's the replacement for airmail letter post (says it right on the website) so it's the cheapest..i don't think you have any insurance or confirmation though...i have faith in the sellers and the post service to get it to me safe...
