Best way to ship to Canada?

[persa]

USPS? UPS? FedEx?

I need to send my BFF some baby presents and I want it to get there in a reasonable time. She is staying with her in laws on a farm out in Alberta.

I send shipments regular to canada for work and prefer fedex. I think their online shipping interface is more user friendly.

Anything but USPS - I'm Canadian and usually don't have a choice when I'm receiving shipments from a seller but they often don't include tracking info and it will get stuck at the border sometimes.

I find FedEx and UPS shipments come through much faster.

USPS also increased their costs for small parcel international so they're no longer as price competitive.

OP - Since you are sending baby clothes as a gift, make sure to label the package as GIFT and put a very low $$$ value against it (if at all).

I've only ever been hit with duty fees on packages above $75 that were not gifts.

persa, have you already bought the gift? If not, you might want to order something from we'll.ca. They have lots of great baby gifts and free shipping if you spend $25. Shipping is super fast too!

I did unfortunately. That would have been good especially since I bought it 2 weeks ago and have yet to ship it off. I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Thanks y'all, I appreciate the input.
