Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
What's the rules about this. I shipped once to Canada using UPS and it turned out more expensive than I thought. And I had to drive 30 min to get there.
So if I used the PO, what should I do? Can I fit three yards into a global Mail LARGE priority envelope? Here's the link to what 3 yards of fabric would cost. Sheesh! Note all the cheaper choices are LETTERS!
Your linked page didn't come up, but I think I know what you're seeing/talking about. One of the options is "airletter post" I believe? That rate is applicable to parcels. It should be less than $9 I'd imagine.
HTH!

I sent 2 yards of PRR Twill yesterday to Canada. Alberta, I think...
Anyway, my post office insisted the packaging had to be completely white with no lettering or I had to use the global envelope. Soo...I used a shirt box from Penneys that I had laying around. Put the fabric in and taped the heck out of it with clear tape. It was like $5.60 or something around there to mail it.
edited to add...I don't know what the official name of the service I picked was. It was the cheapest route. The next choice was something like $17!
Every time I try to figure it out on line it is outrageously expensive but when I bring a package in it is always less. I have no idea how to know the cost w/out taking the package in. The website never matches up w/ real life for international postage when I do it.

I just got two yrds of fabric shipped to me for $5.05 from the US to Canada. I know they are super picky now about how it is pkg for customs. They want the address in capital letters someone told me?

so I can send three yds of fabric by airmail letter?
I'm pretty sure, yes. There's a weight restriction on it, I think you can check that by clicking a link just below the words. You have to take it to the PO anyway, right? I mean, you can't print out postage to CANADA, can you? At any rate, I don't want to tell you YESSSS! and have it be wrong, but I'm pretty sure...
What's the best way to ship fabric to Canada?
