Sorry for the second post. Actually, you can ship anywhere in the world using "Letter Post Airmail" for less than Parcel Post. Many International buyers have opted for that cheaper option (knowing that it can't be insured) for oversea poster shipments that I send.

There IS a way to ship to Canada for less than Parcel Post! You can ship UNINSURED via "Letter-Post". For Canada it is only $6 or $7. A rolled poster tube is considered just that - a "roll". I have the USPS Postal Rates book in front of me as I write this message. "Rolls" for Letter Post (used to be called Small Packets Mail") can be up to 36 inches maximum length. (Maximum length + twice diameter = 42 inches.) Remember, you can not have insurance with this method. If they want the poster insured, the buyer will have to take the more expensive "Parcel Post" option. I hope this helps!

Hi Gang,
This question is to all the people who ship ROLLED posters outside the U.S...
I have recently been accused of trying to rip off a buyer for excessive shipping costs for a destination outside the U.S (Canada).. I have always followed the shipping requirements and the prices from the USPS.com web site. The site clearly states that any package that is over 24" long must go AIRMAIL PARCEL POST. Example Canada - A 30" tube 3" in Diameter weighing 1 to 2 lbs has a shipping cost of $13.25 not including any shipping material costs Airmail Parcel Post. I have checked with our largest Post Office in the State and they tell me that is correct and it would be the only way it could be shipped standard Airmail. I am not talking about Express packaging. I have had several people lately complain about charging them that cost because they claim they receive tubes all the time from the U.S. to Canada and the postage is only $5 - $7.
Am I missing something here or are these people just getting lucky that the package went through without the correct postage? Our local P.O's. will not ship it for less...
Thanks Larry
