    It is a lot more trouble that you would think. FedEx is very
    reliable, but also expensive. The post office is cheap but very
    unreliable for jewelry to Canada. Some Canadians get post boxes in
    the US and drive down once in a while to beat the cost and hassles. 

    If you use the post office, use the customs declaration option where
    you seal the paperwork in an attached pouch or envelope. Those green
    customs declarations that put the contents and value where anyone
    can read it may as well just say "steal me!" 

    If you find a better way, let me know. Canada is a goods market for
    what I do, but shipping spoils it.
