Hi, I find that the shipping costs in Canada are ridiculous. Mailing letters is ok, but once you get beyond that size/thickness, the price jumps by a lot! It makes no sense that a light "small packet" to the US costs more than the same item to an (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shipping)
