Default RE: who has had this experience ?

John,

This was the small Yak. Is that considered too large for USPS? In retrospect, I can see where it might be. I did make a point that I wanted to avoid large brokerage fees. Canadian postal services are VERY reasonable in this regard. Many times, the parcel just shows up at the door. This is why I wanted to avoid UPS. If Fedex is no better, then now I know.

About handling, this is a copy and paste from your confirmation of my order.

If that's the actual shipping cost then leave out the handling thing.

But we'll see when I get the item.

I appreciate your attention to the matter.

I can see why in some businesses, Canadian orders aren't worth the hassle. So much for "free trade, Nafta, Mafta, Kafta Bafta". But, I'm editorializing, sorry.

Here's an idea. Partner with Great Hobbies in Canada to carry your goods to cater to Canadians. Check them out, they do a good job.
