So I paid 38$ for shipping my ggts package to Canada for priority mail international 6-10 days. Coulda got 6$ first class and that's about the same 6-10 days. With both of these shipping types tracking woulda stopped at the border . I believe that 38$ should get me express mail international 3-5 days with full tracking even after it crosses the border . From past experiences and ordering from the states 38$ has got me Ems am I correct? I sent in a ticket asking justin but haven't received any email back yet. Any other Canadians get the 38$ shipping? Just kinda weird that the 6$ and 38$ is almost the same sending time and the cost is so far apart. If your reading this Justin sorry to hassle you but can you please look into this when you have the time thanks in advance buddy!

Hey,

This isn't a direct answer to your post but your shipping with USPS priority mail stops at the border? I lived in Canada until recently and ordered a lot of stuff from the states. I was always able to start tracking the packages on the Canada Post site once it hit the border and the USPS site stopped updating. With the odd exception I was always able to track it to my door.

Yea when shipping with USPS priority mail int will stop at the border and you won't even be able to use Canada post site tracker to locate it even. Only with express mail int tracking will still work after it crosses the border on the Canada post tracker. I donno it's weird like that. Even on the site it tells you that priority mail isn't always scanned sometimes you'll only see it dropped off at the post office and then never see it move on the tracker again.

Also found this

Premium products, such as Express Mail®, include Tracking. This means that a user checking the Track & Confirm site for a mailpiece sent via Express Mail should see, at a minimum, when the mailpiece was accepted and when it was delivered or a delivery attempt occurred. Additionally, the user will likely see several additional scans as the item moves through the mail stream, such as “processed’ or “arrival at unit”. Products that include tracking provide end-to-end visibility.

Lower-cost products, such as Delivery Confirmation™, only include Confirmation of Delivery. This means that a user checking the Track & Confirm site for a mailpiece sent with Delivery Confirmation should see, at a minimum, when the mailpiece was delivered or when a delivery attempt occurred.

USPS may also provide users with additional scan on items that include confirmation of delivery, such as “processed”, “arrival at unit”, or “out for delivery.” However, the price of these lower-cost products does not include end-to-end visibility.

Just another Canadian impatiently waiting for a shipping notice...

I asked to have expedited shipping for my Oddy and Justin got back to me saying they could do it and said they would bill me. Item shipped priority though. I'm sure they are get totally overwhelmed when they have hundreds of items to send out all at once.

I wish it were an option at checkout though...

I dug something up that I remember seeing for you N1tro. There was some talk about the 38$ option on page4 of this thread and an answer from JthaBigVapor.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-have-you-received-your-ody-canada-yet-4.html :D

Yea I checked that out well 38$ for more info on tracking doesn't really matter cuz it will stop tracking once it hits the border anyways with priority. 38$ should get express mail international full tracking and 3-5 days. Still waiting to hear back from Justin or Bruce about this. Then difference from 6 dollar shipping and 38 dollar shipping . Same days diff price with 38 just getting more tracking info seems kinda a rip off .

I charge only $6.00 flat rate. You get 1st class international. No weight limit.

If you want it faster or insured, my prices are what I am charged for the service.

Ok thanks Bruce I totally understand If that's what your getting charged for shipping. I'm not arqueing or complaining about it , just that from other places I have ordered in the states 38$ shipping got me express mail international full tracking . It's just that when us canadians order from the states the only way we get full tracking is with Ems, priority or first class we only get trackin up to the border then it will stop . Thanks for answering bruce have a great day!
