You do not want to know the price of getting things shipped to NZ (or 
Australia)!!

I mostly order things in and seldom ship things out. However, I have been 
selling off some surplus gear on this list this last little while and have 
been dealing intimately with the Canadian post office for the first time in 
quite a while. Shipping to the US is OKish, $19 to $25 depending on the 
parcel. Unfortunately, shipping overseas is quite a bit more expensive: $35 
for three or more weeks with the prices jumping dramatically if you want it 
there any sooner. Not that bad a hit if you are selling a lens or a body but 
a stiff premium on top of an inexpensive item. I checked with UPS and they 
wanted even more.

Am I missing something? Is there a less expensive option for international 
shipping from Canada?

TIA,

John
