Shipping some skis from Washington to BC tomorrow. How much does it usually cost? What company is the best to ship with? Searchbarred it and didn't have any luck.

Do you remember how much it cost? I've shipped skis domestically with UPS and it was considerably more expensive than USPS but I don't know if it's the same way shipping to Canada.

Any time I buy anything from the US I have it shipped with the USPS.  It's not as fast, but there are far fewer hassles.

And depending on the size of the skis, it should probably cost around $40-$50.

USPS is usually far cheaper. Depending on the packaging and weight, it should be about $30-$40
