    USPS is the best way for you to ship from Canada. CFCS is a great company to work with and by far one of the best I have ever worked with. Top notch service.

    USPS as in United States Postal Service? As in the "not here in Canada" Postal Service? I know it's crazy, but for some reason the Canadian government has this weird idea that they don't want the United States setting up branches of their postal service here in Canada, and instead they insist we use the Canadian postal service, Canada Post, for some strange reason. Whacky, I tell ya! Unless of course you're referring to a different USPS, in which case please pardon my confusion.

    Unfortunately, using Canada Post kills the idea of cross-border shipping for recycling. I was quoted a tick over $80 for shipping a 30 lb. box to Ewasted. It seems that shipping in multiple gaylords at once is about the only way it's economically feasible.

    You could use a service like "BOOKS TO THE BORDER" OR "CHIT CHATS EXPRESS" these companies work with ebayers alot. they drive over the boarder everyday and mail stuff and can save you money.

    Best Price Shipping Supplies, Ship in Canada and to U.S. & International from Toronto

    Check out this site, they claim they can save you 70% on shipping to the US! What I would do is see if they can drop off at a Fedex location and then you can use Ewasted prepaid labels. That would save you alot also.
