[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1850743, member: 46727"] It's usually because most suppliers that do a lot of business have an ongoing contract with the US Postal Service which saves them money for shipping and insurance. International shipping is usually not included in that contract and means the supplier would have to take the extra time and cost to ship. You would think the cost to ship an item from a supplier in NY to a customer in California is more expensive than shipping an item from Seattle to Vancouver, BC. Apparently the way our Postal Service works is not the most efficient business or service. Which is why it's always losing money and has to be bailed out by increasing rates or taxes. By the way, US law designates the US Postal Service as the only carrier that can handle and deliver first class mail. [/QUOTE]
