Annonimous Pick would know all the tricks. Canada is a tough nut!

here's a few  tips . .

-  use / make  a box  closest to  the  actual size  of the item   (allowing  for reasonable  packaging protection ) 

- avoid  the   use of  an online  shipping calculator .(most are not even close to  accurate.)

- remember that the  "claimed   value "  also affects  the price  ,  as does  sending as a  "gift"  etc...  or  not .

keep the weight down too, if you can .

Thanks Guys. Three strikes against me I guess. the box was slightly larger than needed, price paid on reverb is automatically added info and it does the shipping cost automatically. Damn, what would shipping a guitar cost!?!

i  buy  guitars  from  us all the time  . shipping  usually  hovers around  40  to  60  bucks  .. and thats a   full size regular  store  bought electric .  cbgs should be cheaper for the weight . 

so  $45  for a stomp box  blows my mind  .. unless you  protected it  with sand   or lead  ;-)
