This is not my business and main source of income, it is a hobby and like a garage sale for me. Selling old classic memorabilia I have accumulated over the years. Unfortunately, I have to pass these charges on to you...wish I didn't have to. *Ebay has also increased their fees to sellers by 10% so a 23% increase in a matter of months for sellers from Canada Buyer will be responsible for any customs charges the border may charge you. More great products from a trusted seller. I ship within 48 hours of auction payment. Please give feedback on my service, not Canada/US Postal services, check the postmark. I am guessing on International quote but can get closer quote if you purchase item, please let me check on postage rates from non USA or Canada buyers. Payment within 5 days of auction end please. Paypal please. Thanks again for looking and best of luck in bidding. I appreciate your business. 5 Star Positive feedback appreciated and will be reciprocated.
