Best postal service to Canada from UK

[D_XZ]

I've just been getting postage quotes from parcel2go to send a frame to Canada and the best I can get so far is around £80. Weight is around 4kg or a bit less.

Does anyone know of a courier who is likely to be cheaper?

Cheers

Sorry to hijack the thread but if anyone knows a good courier going the
other way I would be interested.

I have relatives in Canada who said they could forward US ebay stuff
for me.

Canada Post will Probably be cheapest if it's not oversize (frame only, packed as small as possible). FedEx is the next option. Brown has bent/broken 2 of 3 incoming frames/bikes to me, so I refuse to use them.

second that. do all international shipping via CanadaPost outbound and i request standard parcel service offered by the country inbound to me. all the other carriers are usually more expensive. as well brokerage/duties charged by other carriers have been excessive both to and from Canada. regular mail usually charges reasonable/minimal fees.

Re:

Why not just ask the person you are sending them to?

Thought the yanks used Zip Codes..

For the purpose of estimating postage, I always just look for the zip/postal code of the town hall or a library. Shipping won't vary that much within a municipality.

OR try

try google maps, right click and go for what's here. sometimes you get the full adress, sometimes you get the postcode and cordinates.
