I got my first international order today...from Canada...I'm in the US. When I launched my business a couple months ago, I downloaded international postage rates from the US Postal Service. The package I'm needing to mail is a very small one weighing only 3.7 ounces and the chart from the USPS says that postage rate 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 and I'm guessing that it's because Paypal saw that the address of the recipient of my package is in Canada...but I still don't get why there were no other choices on postage. What am I overlooking? For US mailings, it normally asks me the size of the package but I notice on this international label, it just asks me the weight of the pkg and what service I prefer. (sigh) 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!
