What’s the best way to ship stuff over to Canada?
Like, if I just use USPS to send a package, what kind of shipping costs am I looking at?
Also, any tips on how to handle the payment side of things—currency, methods, etc.—without making it awkward?
If this has already been covered somewhere else, could someone just drop the links to those threads? Thanks. 🙂

They’re honestly fantastic... always up for a joke and I’ve never had a single issue sending stuff through them. If only there were more people like them instead of the usual crowd, the USPS would actually have a decent reputation. 🙂

It’s not exactly my local branch, but I might start switching to them too.😁 I already ditched my regular post office because the ladies there are just awful. I used to go all the time and they knew me, but several times I ended up having to circle back and deal with their nonsense because they couldn't get anything right. 😲The last straw was when a card I sent from Chicago to Chicago somehow didn't make it. She wanted me to send it normally, but the envelope was huge—there was no way it could just vanish. I'm pretty sure one of those ladies just kept it for herself.☕

Whatever, if this has already been hashed out elsewhere. I’m just wondering about sending stuff via standard mail when someone specifically requests it. If it never shows up because it gets lost or someone decides to lose it, does the USPS actually keep any kind of record or tracking number for regular letters/packages? Like, is there anything you can actually point to, or is it just a total lost cause? 😕
