Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some info if possible ?. I'm sure some of you have done this before. I have contacted Eco Wolf in Florida and want to buy/ship 7 gallons of seacast here to Canada, I've read here that it can be done cheaply using the US postal service (No Brokerage fees etc) but haven't been able to find any more info on it. Can anyone shed any light on how to do this and whats involved ?
I'm not familiar with the US or Canadian postal service at all as I only moved here from Ireland not too long ago so any help and direction would be greatly appreciated. I did ask the question in a email to eco wolf but they seem to only use UPS or Fedex, so I want to be armed with all the information before I raise the question again.
Thanks in advance
Mojo

Thinking you would have to work that out with seacast to ship US postal aka "snail mail" . Unless they overnight it ,which would cost more , it would take a loooooong time to get ... I may be wrong ..
Luckily I live only a couple hours away so I have always just picked it up myself ...

Depending on where you are at in Canada, it might be easier and cheaper to hook up with one of the guys on here that lives in the northern area of the county and have it shipped to them and then meet them at the border to pick it up from them, any other way is going to be pretty expensive based on the weight and the volume of what you are having shipped.

Yeah that's a good idea, they quoted me almost $500 US by UPS not including brokerage fees. 😭
I'm in Regina, Saskatchewan, about 3 hours from the border. I will look into who on here is closest to me.
Thanks.
