Shipping from Canada to Sweden?

[gratzi]

Hey guys, I'm trying to work out a deal with a buyer in Sweden but I've never shipped overseas before? What is the best and safest way for me to do that and how much does it cost? It's one Cup card and would like tracking and insurance if that's possible as well.

Any help?

I think it starts out at $4 for regular shipping to Europe. With tracking & insurance it would go up quite a bit. Check here: http://www.canadapost.ca/Personal/Tools/RC/International.aspx

Is it very High end card?

If not normal Canada post (about $3.90) gets cards to me in the uk in about 10 days so would think the same for Sweden.

Registered mail will cost you about 18-19$ , signature on reception , tracking number , no insurance available tho.

Since you want tracking, that's a big kick in the cost.

First, how much insurance. If you want to insure for 60$ or less, your best bet might be to go with oversized letter mail regular mail postage (+3.90 up to 100g) registered mail (+12.95)
Shipping would be done in a bubble envelope and toploader / snap case

If you need to go any higher than 60$ insurance, well.. then you're in trouble. You can fill in the blanks here with your specific information. I threw in my postal code with some rough guesses at size (10cmx10cmx1.5 cm - weight at 0.1 kg + 100$ insurance). Total cost for International Parcel Surface is $33.55. Xpress post is $53.81. Both are trackable with 100$ insurance included. Every 100$ after that is (+1.20).

Hope this helps. Feel free to Pm me if you have any other questions.

Cheers,

I should add I have never had a card lost from Canada post in over 100 Canadian transaction.

To send reasonably securely from Canada to Europe, I use registered mail with AR card. Not one has been lost yet.

Oddly enough, the only registered letters I've had go missing did so in the USA.

I´m from Sweden and I´ll say registered air mail is the best way. Normally it takes a week - 10 days and I´ll have to pick it up and sign.
