USPS Rates to Canada

When you're looking to ship a package to Canada, you might be wondering how much it will cost. Thankfully, USPS is now pricing packages to Canada by ZIP code. While the service is already price-based within the United States, it has traditionally only offered one rate to Canada. That means a package sent from Grand Canyon to Toronto would cost the same as one shipped from New York City. But now, there are seven different price zones that will give you more detailed pricing.

The first thing to consider is what kind of package you're sending to Canada. Canada postage costs vary, and you need to know what type of postage is appropriate. If you're mailing a letter, you should use standard envelopes, as anything other than a standard envelope may need a higher rate of postage. For example, you should be aware that non-standard envelopes may require extra postage, and that in 2022, an envelope that cannot be processed by a machine will cost you an extra $0.21. The other important factor in your package's postage to Canada is the size, weight, and the shipping method.

Next, consider the delivery time. If you need your package delivered sooner, you should consider using Priority Mail Express. Both services are faster than standard mail, and take between one to three days. However, if your package doesn't arrive within that timeframe, you should check with the post office. If you're unsure of how long it will take, look into overnight delivery. You can also choose a shipping service that offers global tracking. Its rates are competitive with the leading couriers.
