<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1672291, member: 25270"]A few months ago I started offering shipping to Canada on my eBay coin auctions. Up to this point, I have only sold single coins to Canadian customers, which costs me $1.30 to ship. Today I sold seven coins to someone in Canada. The cheapest way I can find to ship is $6.16, which is ridiculous in my opinion. The coins only cost $8, and I only charged the customer $4 for shipping because I thought $6 seemed unreasonable. Now I'm trying to find a cheaper option. Can anyone who ships coins to Canada more often recommend anything? The order is 1.8 ounces. I thought about splitting them up into two regular envelopes, but I don't know if that will go through or get sent back to me. The automatic shipping purchaser at the post office says it's for correspondence only with international shipping, and while I get away with one coin in the package I don't know if three or four will pass muster.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can take a hit on this if I have to, but I'm also afraid I'll have to ditch international shipping in the future if the shipping prices are so outrageous.
