Mailing PS3 game to Canada from US

Any idea what the shipping costs are like to send a PS3 game to Canada? I got a Canadian match on Goozex but I am American. Would it be comparable to shipping within the US? Usually it has been like 3-4 bucks when I have shipped out a game, using the Goozex label service. I've seen crazy stories about the Canadian postal service in the Secret Santa threads.

I need to send the game from New York City to some place in Ontario, if that matters. I'd get the exact address but I need to accept the trade to get the address. Yes, it's probably a dick move to cancel the trade if I don't want to pay crazy shipping, but...yeah.

    If you send it to Canada via USPS and label it as a gift, there will be no issue. It'll only cost around $5.

    Usually, if you are sending something with a value of less than $50, they waive it through with no problems/customs.

    I used that, and it said it was like, 2 dollars. It seemed too low to be true, so I came here and figured I'd ask someone with a soul instead of cold, unfeeling technology.

    How're you getting 2 bucks from that?

    Anyways, in my experience when I've received games from the states with postage stamps on them, they're typically in the area of 5 and never more than 10 bucks. Usually closer to 5.

    Never mind, I guess that was just the cost of the packaging.
