Bidder in Canada

Hi, a litle advice please.

I have a high value item of clothing listed on eBay, and it has one bid at the moment from someone in Canada. I've never posted abroad before and thought I had my options set to UK only. Obviously not! This bidder has not asked me for a costing for postage. My question is - has anyone any experience of posting to Canada and is there a Special Delivery equivalent? I want to be forewarned in case she wins.

  • Have a read of the postage sticky.

    Canada is a bit picky about how you label the parcel.
  • Thank you for your reply. I've read the postage sticky. Is it just the customs label that is required, or is there anything else?

    Your return address label on the front left hand top corner of the front of the package.
