I've not sent a package to Canada for a couple of years, but I too have sent items all over the world. It is possible to track and insure international packages through USPS-it must be sent Priority. One very bad experience with a buyer in Croatia has resulted in my choice not to send ANY ebay sales internationally unless they are sent Priority and insured. Private sales off of ebay, I send them all over, and I allow the buyer to decide how they want it shipped. I've recently sent handbags to Germany and Poland. Germany was no problem, but it took almost a month and two trips to the customs office by the customer before it cleared customs in Poland. Oh-and she had to pay an extra $30 to be allowed to keep it. I have NO idea what the difference was-all customs forms were filled out the same, just different laws I guess.
