Looking to pick up a bunch of baseball and basketball prospects , but cant justify paying up to 25$ to ship items to canada for cards that are likely 1/2- 1/3 of the shipping cost.Looked up a few threads here but just wanted to know if getitshippedinternational.com is still the best option out there.
 
I've been out of the reshipping game for a couple years...I send all my US stuff to comc and send it home with any of my epack stuff.
 
I still like the COMC option..... but it's a lot more expensive than it was when it started. $3 to receive a package, and 60 cents per card.
 
COMC is still the cheapest option out there. Bad thing is there's new Internet Sales Tax to ship to COMC. For higher end cards, it's not worth it to pay $40 state tax to ship to COMC.

Canadian sellers charge $4 or less to ship to me.
USA sellers charge $10 to $14 to ship to me, unless it's eBay Global Shipping which is $25

I tried to buy from Canadian sellers only.

This is slightly misleading, there are US sellers that still charge under $5 to ship but they're breaking the rules to do so. It costs around $9.50 to ship one card to Canada with tracking. Canadian sellers routinely charge more to ship to the states for a service that doesn't include any tracking and might show up in a week or two months. To get a similar level of shipping with tracking from a Canadian seller, the charge would be nearly $20.

This is why its almost not economical to purchase just one card from a US seller if you're Canadian and why it makes sense to get a US based address and get your purchases shipped to you in bulk.
