TNT Shipping?

Question

I was wondering... I recently ordered a few cards from a small NYC company, and they wanted $22 for TNT Global Express shipping from 10016 to K1S5P5 (USA to Canada). Did I get ripped? Their online price quote seems to tell me that I need to have an account to lookup the price.

Answer 1

Some companies like use couriers like TNT, DHL, FedEx etc. for over border deliveries because they are quick and reliable. They are also very expensive and have a minimum charge for up to half a kilo, even if it's an envelope with a piece of paper in it.

Try to purchase where they offer cheaper services like USPS. You may wait a few extra days, but in some cases you will pay a lot less.

Answer 2

Yeah, you got hosed. But every one does when it comes to shipping.
