Shipping to Canada

Is there any way to get insurance or tracking? Apparentely you can't do this with USPS outside the US, and a guy's offering me a ton of money for some records.

1. USPS Global Express?

Expensive, but you'll get tracking and insurance. Other than that, I'd say UPS Ground to Canada

(note: read the whole thing, it's one of the funniest threads I've ever seen on any message board)

What about FedEx?

4. Eh

I've been a shipper for years, and UPS isn't that bad overall, in my experience, and I've shipped all over the planet. FedEx is excellent, but $$$$. If you want really bad shipping, go with Airborne Express, they're horrible!

DHL is good, but I don't know if they do personal shipping, it may just be commercial.

3. UPS is terrible.

They have a horrible record. FedEx is much better if they can provide the services you require.

5. Try Fedex

You get a tracking no. and all packages are automatically insured up to $100 and you can get insurance if it's more.
