Shipping cost from Canada to US?

[AMak]

hi everyone,
i was wondering if any one who ship blu-ray disc to US from Canada, what is the average and/or lowest shipping cost for 1 or 2 blus. And what kind of package to use?
Just a week ago i send a package (2 blus) to US for 7.61... is that appropriate shipping cost or i paid too much. i send it in bubble wrap padded envelope.

Thank you.

For regular Blu's, I use Light Packet and I think it costs about $3-ish for 1, but I am not a 100% sure. For two, I'd say that seems likely. It all depends on what method you used to ship, which I'd guess was Small Packet Surface in this case.

That does seem high. You should be able to send a BD for well under $3.

That is the proper price for Light Packet (251g - 500g) to the US.

i ship all the time and know the rates by heart. here they are:

Light Packet (under 100 grams) $2.38+tx
Light Packet (betwen 100-250 grams) $4.50+tx
Light Packet (above 251 grams) $7.61+tx

What really bothers me is that it's more expensive to ship something like a double DVD (in a double thickness DVD case) from Canada to another address in Canada than it is to ship the same package from Canada to the U.S. ($7.61 vs almost $12.00!)
