I was wondering if someone can tell me how much it would be to get 2 cases (24 cars each case) shipped within the US by UPS. Then how much it would be to ship 2 cases by USPS to Canada.
I am trying to figure out if it will be less to get them shipped directly to me by UPS (only option) and pay the $29 in extra fees or have someone (if they are willing to help) buy them for me and then ship them to me by USPS (which has no fees). I personally hate UPS because I always get charged a ridiculous amount of fees even for small packages with low values! But if it is going to be less I will go with it.
Cheapest method via UPS is $36, takes about a week. USPS is about $50, takes about a week. USPS doesn't care where you are in Canada, price is the same. UPS price depends on where you are. USPS price does not go down any, UPS price gets less expensive depending on volume of shipments. Assuming you buy from Mattel, they would be able to get a better price
only if you are a dealer. I cannot speak for CTC, you would need to ask Traver the exact shipping cost, he usually double boxes and I'm sure that cost a few bucks as well.
