I do send by express post if the item is going to montreal.. costs are lower for me, since I have Venture One. I did send out a parcel today to BC where I paid for the express post- and I sent out a parcel to the states by express because my customer wanted it by the weekend, (but didn't arrive by the weekend anyway) I wouldn't normally do this out of the goodness of my heart, but for Christmas, why not. It makes good karma.
