The Never-Ending PIF PIF!

I have no idea how you guys got that amount, when I went to the post office and asked they said it would be 16.95 and they provide the box or 14.95 if I could find my own box :/ And that's more than the soap costs lol.

Ouch, for that you could have just ordered Cella from one of our vendors shipped. Was class mail was this?

When I use the USPS International Postage Calculator, pick Canada > Package > 12 oz and then on the next page pick First Class Int'l Parcel, it's $4.90. When I shipped to sp514 with a PIF, it might have been less than that.

I guess regular. I told the guy I wanted the cheapest option nd that's what he told me :(

The cheapest option is first class mail. (not parcel) Just put it in any box that fits, and fill it with amazon airbags or styrofoam or simply tape it to the side so it doesn't move. It should be under $5.

Don't forget guys, shipping international, you have to fill out and attach the silly customs form. So you have to go into the PO whether you use Paypal shipping or not.

@Sonofatboyd
I'll bet the same postmaster will try and sell you the same expensive service for CONUS.
Was this one of those Boxes & Ect. or other franchise store where they have (not very knowledgeable) high school kids making minimum wage?

Just poking around, I found out that you can fill the Customs forms in online and print them out.

Form 2976 should do it.

Old: Paraben
New: No Paraben

I`ve used both, there isn`t really any other differences than that.

That was about the same as it cost me to ship a tub of soap with similar weight and dims to Cella plus a razor and a pack of blades to sp514. The post office is probably trying to upgrade your service to priority - there are some boxes that the USPS provides where you can only ship priority. If you use your own boxes it can be considerable less expensive.

it was the 1st tube i ever bought, used it for a bit to get started, then got hooked on RR etc. i haven't revisited it in about a year.

my tube was passed around to all the office wet shavers when I was just starting out and a few of us were all trying new things.

[vankanma]

You have a office full of wet shavers!! your so lucky! you could just trade among yourselves!
I'm the only guy in a office of 30 women and certainly can't ask them if they wet shave ;o)

there are 2 of us in the office right now, we had a 3rd, but he gave up, and 2 others are still in out organization but not in my building...but we still trade and do group orders.

plus at least 4 other B&B guys are in my small city, so i've met up all of them to do trades/swaps/sales etc.

it works out very well, considering i don't live in a big city...Winnipeg

Winnipeg is not a small city.....
