Depends what you ship as well of course! I ship greeting cards and prints, so nothing bulky or heavy. But i have found that the shipping cost, whether i ship to Oregon or Florida, is pretty much the same.

Before the tariffs, with the small business discount, tracked shipping was cheaper with Canada post, but since the tariffs, chit chats became more affordable (plus more reliable, and a more streamlined process). Im in Vancouver and shipping anywhere in the US costs about $10-$11 with tracking.

Depends.. if you use Canada post, yes, its a seperate step. But if you use chit chats, the declaration is integrated.. way easier. They’re also cheaper than canada post.

Happy Friday everyone!

Although i love the mild winters of the westcoast, i sometimes miss listening to the snow quietly falling. The stillness under the trees. A childhood memory that resurfaces with every winter. ❄️
