Why Fedex Ground to Canada?

We ship Fedex Ground to Canada for a number of reasons, chiefly.
1. It is an extremely quick shipping method, 5-7 day average delivery.
2. It guarantees a fair business transaction.
3. Ease of tracking packages
4. We are able to collect prepaid Duties/Taxes at the lowest rate by being a high volume Non-resident-Importer, getting you the product to your door as inexpensively as possible.

Mostly though we ship Fedex Ground because other methods are so much worse.

UPS: They charge insanely high brokerage and processing fees. Don't be fooled if someone is shipping an item to you in Canada from the US via UPS you will pay exorbitant extra fees possibly up to 50% of your items price.

USPS/Canada Post: There are a few problems
1. Subject to lengthy customs delays.
2. Customs pricing work is done by government officials who suck at their job and will find any excuse of i's not being dotted or t's not being crossed to make your delivery a living hell.
3. Greater chance of shipping errors because the items are not delivered direct to the customer's home address.

We understand that shipping costs outweigh the costs of a single small inexpensive item shipped to Canada. However, if you are planning on order a complete ski or board setup or multiple setups you will not only get superior service but actually save substantially on total cost with our flat rate shipping. As always if our shipping cost exceeds the flat rate you will not be charged extra, but if it is less you will be refunded. If you were just looking for a pair of ski poles or gloves, look around, surely you can find a few other items to reduce the importance of the shipping costs.

Please don't hesitate to call with any questions or concerns.
