Shipping costs from Sticking to Business to Canada are perceived as excessively high, with a base shipping fee of $5.95 and an additional $19 for Canadian delivery. This has led to discussions about potential alternatives, such as finding someone in the U.S. willing to receive the stickers and forward them to Canada for a lower cost.

I want to order some stickers from Sticking to Business, and I thought the $5.95 shipping was pretty reasonable but to ship to Canada, you have to add an additional $19!!! That is CRAZY!

Is anyone willing to allow me to ship to you and then you could forward it to me? I'm sure it would only be $5 or so to ship it up here to me...not sure why they would charge $20...?!?!
 
OMG! That's high! Glad someone can help you out.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does shipping to Canada cost more than shipping within the U.S.?

Shipping to Canada often incurs higher costs due to international shipping fees, customs duties, and taxes that are not applicable for domestic shipments. Additionally, the distance and logistics involved in crossing the border contribute to increased shipping rates.

Are there additional customs fees when shipping to Canada?

Yes, when shipping to Canada, packages may be subject to customs duties and taxes imposed by the Canadian government. These fees are typically based on the value of the goods and can vary depending on the item being shipped.

Why do some products have different shipping rates to Canada?

Shipping rates can vary based on the size, weight, and value of the product. Heavier or larger items may incur higher shipping costs due to the increased expense of transporting them across the border. Additionally, some items may require special handling or packaging, which can also affect shipping rates.

Can I avoid high shipping costs when ordering from Pampered Chef to Canada?

While you may not be able to completely avoid shipping costs, you can minimize them by ordering larger quantities to spread the shipping fee across more items. Additionally, keeping an eye out for promotions or special offers that may include reduced shipping rates can help save money.

Is there a way to track my order when shipping to Canada?

Yes, most shipping services provide tracking information for international shipments, including those sent to Canada. Once your order is shipped, you should receive a tracking number that allows you to monitor the progress of your package until it arrives at your Canadian address.
