The last order for 4oz bottles of FNS-QUAD-SET ink from MIS cost me 
exactly $5.75 for shipping and handling to Canada. It was sent air 
parcel post.

I specify USPS, not UPS. USPS + Canada Post is a hard combination to 
beat. And they are just as fast as UPS and more secure as far as i'm 
concerned.

Inkjetmall insist on Fedex (won't send USPS to Canada, they cite that 
foreign country thing). Their last order of same cost me $29.00 for 
shipping even though i'm located nearer to them than most of their US 
based customers.

Cheers,
Andre
