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.

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.
