go on the USPS website and pick first class international, it will be much cheaper.

First Class Int'l is $2.59

When it shows the prices, that first section is for Express Mail.

You'll see 2 blue lines at the bottom - one for Priority, and one for First Class (if it's available). You need to click on the one you want, and a new "table" will appear with the applicable prices.

It's a really stupid setup as the first option shown (with the others hidden) - regardless if it's to a domestic or international location - is always Express Mail, which is not the first option of 99.999999999999% of the people mailing. :wink:

eta: This happens only with the Large Envelope or bigger package options. If you had selected a regular letter, the 1st Class "table" would be visible.
I still think it's a stupid display choice - it should always be low to high.

Karen, I don't know if this helps but a flat-rate Priority envelope to Canada is around 12 bucks.
You can put up to 4 pounds in it.

Take it to the PO box they can get the correct postage amount you can only send online the most expensive way I shipped an 8oz pkg to canada for around $3 so it can be done!
