Wilf, as big a country as Canada is I guess your not alone in that 
category, I still don`t know exactly how a package gets from someone 
like me in the states to someone like you in Canada but I`ve sent 
packages to Canada many times and it never cost any of my customers 
$25-$30 for s+h unless it was for fees/costs incurred after I shipped it 
from the US Post Office, I`m
going to the post office tomorrow to find out more about this. I`ll post 
what I find out tomorrow.Thanks for the reply,
