Foreign Postage Rates

These are the prices for mailing books outside of Canada. We do not add handling or other additional charges - we charge whatever it actually costs.

Via US Post


The following is as of July 1, 2002, via US Post Office surface, expressed in US dollars (1 US dollar = approx 1.50 Cdn). The rates shown for the US are for media mail. Rates for Europe, Australia and New Zealand are for surface letter post for 4 lbs or less and for an international surface books M-bag.

Priority mail rates to the US for over 1 lb are calculated on the basis of zones.

Via Canada Post

Interpretation

For surface parcels over a pound and under 4.4 lbs to locations outside of North America, the Canadian post office's small packet rates are the least expensive. For heavier parcels, the US post office's M-Bag rate is the least expensive. For under a pound the US letter-post is least expensive.

A paperback without packaging will typically weigh under a pound ; a hardcover under 2 lbs. Packaging can add up to another pound to the parcel weight.

Surface parcels can spend over six weeks in transit.
