[QUOTE="Patrice Audet, post: 282363, member: 5682"]Hi everyone, I'm from Canada. I sell antiques online. I searched the forum for an answer but couldn't find one... so here goes! When shipping items that are large or heavy or anything but small and flat. I'm face with prices that are way too expensive. The cheapest of them is still Post-Canada and they can ship to the door, even if it's inside a large building (they are the only ones with the special keys, all the others will just put a sticker in a shared place if they can't go inside the buildings). The question is, is there anything more affordable? For a 18x12x12 box weighting 5 pounds, they'd charge me 35$, and that's with my Etsy prepaid labels (cheaper than what I can get myself). Do you have any other options that I can investigate? I'm not even talking about some of the larger furniture that I have on hand... How do you do it?
