Shipping to Canada (and elsewhere) from the US via the United States Postal Service (USPS) is fairly easy. In fact, MAILING is the BEST method for SENDING BOXES ACROSS the BORDER!! NEVER any $$ brokers fees (as with UPS & FedEx) and mail offers much more economical choices! YOU CAN DO IT ALL ONLINE (no waiting in line) and track it, too!
NOTE on WAIT TIMES & Tracking: Unfortunately some packages can take 2-plus weeks to get to Canada from the US because they can get held up in the customs bottleneck (especially crossing through Detroit/Windsor). Please allow 2-3 weeks for most packages. (Note: Most 'missing' packages get returned to sender - which can add a couple of weeks.) Unfortunately, customs cannot / does not track packages; only packages with USPS tracking can be tracked. Canada customs (CBSA) mail site:

USPS has an easy international rate calculator. 1. Select the country. 2. Select the mail type/shape (i.e. 'package'). 3. Enter weight (lbs & ozs). 4. Click on 'continue.' The calculator will provide you a list of ALL your USPS mailing/shipping options and costs for your box -- plus on-line customs forms/info and shipping labels. (NOTE: the calculator page provides access to a convenient downloadable (pdf) international rates chart, as well.)

USPS INT'L RATE CALCULATOR:

NOTE: USPS does NOT use foreign postal (zip) codes/addresses to calculate shipping -- just weight. That's because mail that crosses the border becomes the responsibility of CanadaPost. In other words, the same package will cost the same amount no matter where it's mailed to in Canada!

A lot. It is no problem and does save the buyer the expense of paying twice.
If you are shipping in the USA, I would take advantage of the flat rate box $8.95 the US Postal service has. They have a couple of different sizes, you can take the snowsuit to the PO with you , they will help you decide what size and the best way to send it. I think you can even put a note in your mail box for your carrier to bring you some boxes, I know you can go online and order them, and print out the postage, tape it on, have your carrier pick it up or take it to work for the mail there whatever
