I bought a necklace on e-bay from someone in Italy. The seller said he(?) couldn't insure it - it really didn't take all that long for it to get here -
The problem is that we can't get a regular parcel tracked with Canada Post. In order to get tracking to the USA, you have to pay for an "Expedited Parcel" which starts at $12.50 (for a package under one pound to the closest zone) and goes up from there, depending on the weight of the parcel and the distance it needs to travel. For instance, sending a 3-pound parcel to Arizona would cost me $24.65 *sigh*
I would sign up for a lot more swaps if our postage was less expensive!
