How to get lower international shipping costs from and towards Canada?

• Use a shipping cost calculator to compare rates from different carriers.
• Ship smaller packages to reduce the volume weight. Read about chargeable weight.
• If you are shipping a large volume of packages, you may be able to negotiate a discounted rate directly with the major carriers.
• Consider using a third-party shipping service that can provide both savings and - more important - logistics support. 
• Develop new processes including consolidating orders to major markets and ship direct to target countries and regions. Contact Jet Worldwide for details.
