Hey guys I have a little problem. I went to fed-ex to send a little package to a friend in Ontario Canada. They quoted me $36.00 . It's a Dan Miller quiver mounting bracket that weighs 3-5 oz. I put in a little envelope that has the bubblewrap inside. The girl acted as if she had no idea as to how to calculate the rate. Would someone please help me out and give me another alternative, USPS, UPS ...... Just trying to help a brother out.

As one who has bought stuff off Ebay and which involved cross border shipping, DO NOT use UPS for international shipping. They charge shipping and BROKERAGE on stuff. I think the other courrier services do as well.
USPS is by far the cheapest, and reasonably fast.

That is bang on Hi5. My past experience has shown that the postal service is by far the most reasonable means to send something to Canada. Avoid courier services, especially UPS, like the plague.

Hey Ray use USPS. Thats how I mail all of my groundpounder mounts. Rates run me anywhere from $2.50 to $4.00 to U.S. or Canada. My package weighs 8 oz. You also have to fill out a customs form but its no big deal.

100% CORRECT

USPS is always my first choice!
USPS has changed the rules on customs forms and many small inexpensive items can now be shipped without filling out a customs form.
I even had Cabela's mark my account - ship USPS ONLY (when possible) after UPS destroyed a fly rod this spring.
