Many residents of Canada periodically order goods from America. There you can buy household appliances, smartphones, jeans, branded clothing and much more. As a consequence, the question of delivery arises.
Given the location of the USA on the world map, the delivery of goods from there to Canada can easily cost more than the purchase itself. On average, we are talking about $26-100 per package, depending on the seller. Considering the cost of shipping from the USA, it is more profitable to buy 3-5 things at a time in one store so as not to overpay.
Shipping cost from the US to Canada
The delivery price consists on the following components:
-
Delivery service and its tariffs
-
Package weights
-
The store where the purchase was made (there may be partner delivery programs)
-
Additional services (delivery to the service terminal, etc.)
It is often unclear how much it actually costs to deliver a parcel from the USA, because a number of services do not specify exact tariffs, but only approximate ones, so it is better to study this issue in advance.
Calculate the cost of shipping from the US
The buyer can independently calculate how much it will cost to deliver the purchased goods from America to Canada. To do this, you can use the following methods:
-
Find out the information on the seller's website. Often the cost of delivery is indicated initially or its variants are offered.
-
Use ready-made calculators for calculating delivery. They are present on the website of most delivery services. To do this, you need to know the weight of the parcel, its dimensions, the point of departure and destination.
-
Log in to the Qwintry service. Tariffs for the delivery of goods from America are clearly and honestly presented here. Four options are offered: USPS First Class, USPS Priority, USPS Express, DHL Express. The difference in tariffs and conditions can be viewed on the website.
