What do you guys think the best way to ship packages within canada and internationaly. most folks on ebay perfer UPS, but when you look at the tracking steps, once it gets to Canada it slows to a hault. It takes twice as long to get from Winnpeg to here then from anwyhere in the eastern states to Winnipeg.
Mail is good for small stuff, cheap and fast enough.
what do you guys like??

For within Canada, nothing else is needed than regular parcel. Within US, a toss between UPS and Fedex Ground.

I send my stuff on the old greyhound.
One day/same day service. Plus you can send station to station or direct to house/business.

Isn't FedEx really expensive? I've never sent with them, but were always getting packages with them out of the states

Fedex ground and UPS suck.
You can ship Fedex regular economy which is slightly more expensive than Fedex ground, but is MUCH faster and much more reliable.
