    REI Shipping to Canada?

    For the life of me, I can't figure out how REI ships to Canada. Do they use USPS/Canada Post, or a courier service? Courier services usually end up costing me another 40-50% of the price of the item. I don't mind paying duty, but 110$ on a 300$ order is highway robbery.

    tl;dr: Which service does REI use for Canadian shipping?

    Everything I've ever ordered from them arrived via Priority Courier, but I don't know what the shipment starts from on their end.

    get REI to ship to a US store (free), then a maggot can pick it up, and mail it to you.

    the closer the store is to NS you can get the package, the cheaper. if no one ponies, up, drop me a pm, have shipped to Oz before
    Our world is full of surrender at the first sign of adversity, do not give up when the challenge meets you, meet the challenge. Through perseverance comes the rewards, the rewards that make life so enjoyable.

    Seize the day, trusting little in the future.

    if you want something, go after it. if you want to screw someone over, look DEEP in your heart and realize Karma is a bitch

    Snoboy... what kind of items? I wonder if the method they choose depends on the size of the package they're shipping?

    Some 7TMs, small stuff... But this was a few years ago as well, mind you.

    Thanks for the offer. I'm not looking to buy anything specific right now, just curious.
