Cheap Shipping Company

11/05/2013 8:54 AM

Who know the cheap shipping company by air in Canada? Last week I send CO2 laser tube to Americans customer, it cost me about $200, very expensive! If you know, please let me know. Thank you.

How big was the tube? You could try to get competitive bids from USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Lynden Transport, and goodness knows who else.

Not sure from Canada elsewhere. Have you tried an internet search or search of your local directory for air freight shipping companies to perform a comparison on?

Thank you. The package is 136*22*22 cm, I ship it by UPS by air. DHL is more expensive than UPS.

You didn't say its weight or destination but if you sent via air you wanted next day delivery, and that's not cheap. Even Canada Post wanted $291 for a 5kg package from Toronto to NYC, only cheaper and quicker way is to get in your car and drive it there, 40 gallons of gas plus tolls and you might save $20-40, if you don't value your time. UPS was a bargain.
