Just wondering why the shipping costs are so high on such a small item shipped Canada Post? My shipping cost to Victoria is $14.35.

My guess would be because Canada Post blows and keeps raising its rates Pretty much killed my web based business (well that and the rising Canadian dollar)

This is exactly the reason, our website speaks to Canada Post and it generates real time quotes so we have no control over shipping prices unless our shipping weights are off. The shipping weight applied to this product is one pound.

There should also be choices on the type of delivery, for example, regular, expedited, and priority courier. Our experience is that there is not much difference between regular and expedited as far as delivery times so regular would be my choice if making a purchase.

Cheers!

The reason I ask is if I enter the exact same products into my basket for "other" online retailers the shipping is $5-6 cheaper without fail. I realize they aren't located in the Fraser Valley but I can only assume that they must be getting some kind rate discount.

Not sure why that would be but we will look into it for you. We have a business account with CP but are not sure what discounts are being applied if any for us.

Thanks for the heads up!
