Jill check out the price to send things by bus.
that is how I do it with my son 10 hours away.
I pack the box take it to the bus depot and it costs a fraction of what it would by mail.
I sent my mother 4 hard cover books in Florida for christmas and it was $24. canadian by mail.
More than the books cost me because I sent her used books that I had enjoyed.
I would have sent them by bus but our town doesn’t ship to the states as there are too many stops to get it to the border.
Anyway grandchildren are fun to send stuff to even if it is expensive.
Next year I think I will use gift cards more they all like reading so chapters and the eldest now has an Ipad or Ipod so he wants music for it so he got a gift card this year. But he said the little kids got more stuff to open. Then he figured out the gift cards were worth a lot more than the toys and he could pick what he wanted.
For a joke next year I will get him dinky toys and leggos with the gift card tucked in he is 11 now so the toys will appear to be too young for him but he will like getting something silly from his fun grandparents.
hope your new year is good and your blog keeps being as interesting as it was this year.

Yes postage is getting awful. I was going to send the grandkids in Colorado a little package but by the time all was said and done it was going to cost me 4 times the amount to send it as what the items cost. I hate it too because I remember how much I use to love getting letters and packages from my grandma when I was little.

Jill a lot of Canadians have stopped ordering anything from the states unless the company pays the shipping because a simple $20. item ends up costing somewhere in the $80 range so not worth it.
I do not blame you for not shipping to Canada.
If someone here knows a friend in the States they can have the order sent there and then get the friend to put it in the mail.
I just went twice to the post office today. I have about 6 outfits for a toddler and 2 sweat shirts to ship to China. The first was going to cost me nearly $100. so I took it home and took out the sweat shirts and put it into a much smaller box and it cost me $30.
Will repack the other things along with some small items and maybe some more little outfits next week.
As a grandma we can now afford the cute things we couldn’t for our own children but the shipping is keeping me from having lots of fun sending them to Anqi.
Just can’t win. unless they make it home to live next year. Oh well will have to send things home for christmas when they come in the summer. Just doesn’t feel like HO HO HO weather in june though.

Sara it is not so much that it is difficult to send them (although we do have to spend extra time filling out extra forms and things) but we had problems with 2 things – first the cost to ship 1 book is $15 which is one and a half times the cost of the book when it is on sale plus if you ordered 2 books because of the size of the books it would be $35. The second reason is the post office.Most of the books we sent there they either messed them up really bad or didn’t deliver them etc. We had to eat the cost on that each time that happened and it happened most of the time.

We for years tried sending them there but we not only lost money but but time and effort. We had so many people mad at us because they couldn’t get their books at all or they were messed up.

Now we have people mad because we don’t ship at all. We can’t seem to win for losing. : ) We do love our Canadian readers and every so often try to find another way to ship to them but it just doesn’t seem to work through no fault of our own.
Really am sorry because I too love reading a real book more then an e book especially a cookbook.
