I’d love to know what a reasonable shipping cost looks like for this route.
Also, are there any USPS, UPS, or other carrier programs available that provide discounted or preferred rates for these types of shipments?
Yes, many sellers are currently fulfilling U.S. to Canada FBM orders, and reasonable shipping costs for small or lightweight items usually fall in the US $12-$20 range. USPS tends to be the most cost-effective choice, especially with First-Class Package International (around US $15–$18 ) or flat-rate/weight-based Priority Mail options (US $31–$43 ), although express services run US $56+ . Sellers often face a mismatch between shipping cost and what Canadian buyers pay, resulting in losses on light items. While USPS no longer offers consolidator discounts, business tools like Click-N-Ship can help streamline labeling and customs. Using freight forwarders tied to Canada Post or securing a Canada Post business account may yield some savings in shipping from U.S. to Canada.
