International shipping... I need help with getting a label with the correct amt of postage!

[peachygirl]

I got my first international order today...from Canada...I'm in the U.S.  When I launched my business a couple months ago, I downloaded international postage rates from the US Postal Service.  The package I'm needed to mail is a very small one weighing only 3.7 ounces and the chart from the USPS says that postate on a 4 oz pkg to Canada is $2.01.   I started to print out my Paypal shipping label as usual but when I had to pick the service type, my only two choices were Express International Mailing and Priority International Mailing...with the postage costing $24 something and $20 something!  There were no other choices...I suppose because Paypal saw that the address of the recipient of my package is in Canada. 

What am I overlooking...what do I need to do to get the Paypal shipping to be $2.01 like the Postal Service chart says it should be?  Thank you so much in advance!

Hello peachygirl,

Welcome to the Boards!

Express Mail International and Priority Mail International would be the only 2 methods of shipping available when using USPS for shipping. To get the rate you are looking for the package size you would need to take the package to the post office directly and mail it.

We use stamps.com which will allow you to print a lable for international first class.  We use it all the time, with shipping insurance of course.  We have a international insurance co that insures first class even though there is no tracking for this method of shipping.  Works well for us.
