WOW, I just printed a shipping label to send a "Proper 17HMR Bore Guide" to Canada and the Priority Flat Rate shipping charge has increased from $11 to $20!
That's quite an increase!
It now costs as much as the bore guide to simply ship a 4oz piece of aluminum tubing and an aluminum bushing.

Re: Canada Shipping Rate Increase!
The tectonic plate Canada is on is moving north at the rate of two inches every 1,000 years; you have to expect shipping costs to increase as the distance to Canada increases.

Re: Canada Shipping Rate Increase!
You should go on the Canada Post website and see what they charge to ship just within the country. Unbelievably outrageous.

Well it's a big country, and sparsely populated, and the people talk funny.
I've been to Moose Jaw and seen the grain elevator.

Great place to hunt and shoot but too darn many liberals and leftwingers ruined it. Real shame.
