I was looking and found a few items, with the code, was 17.99$ (sadly, all the best items were not in stock, of course). So, I go at check out, enter that I live in Canada, Ontario.
With shipping,
101.99$, and that's before taxes!!!
I don't think so...
and the items, were very light and not bigger than a 1 foot, by 1 foot (combined) for shipping...

Not sure why they are so high. I am in charge of the ebay side of our site and shipping to Canada is the same rate as it is in the US for all masks and costumes. Things over four pounds can be a little more expensive but those are just crazy totals.
Make sure to visit Lordgrimley.com for the very best Halloween masks, costumes and props on the net.

I agree, but there is a proper forum for venders so expect this thread to be moved. Folks should take notice and post in the appropriate forums.
That shipping though- YIKES!

I just read this thread. I had to check it out, so I dropped a $0.99 card of Blood Capsules in the cart. The lowest shipping is a USPS Priority Box for an additional $17.62. This item probably weighs 4 or 5 oz. and is on a 6" X 8" card; it can easily fit in a $4.95 Priority envelope. And $4.95 is the cost to send it anywhere in the U.S. (Spookshop is in WA, I'm in CA). I know that the cost of doing business is going up every day, but damn.
BTW, if I added another pack of $0.99 Blood Capsules to the cart, the price actually increased by $2.00. WTF?I...have many names...

Maybe their shipping calculator is set wrong? I know that if I get a USPS online quote to Canada, a skull costs around $30.00 to ship (their online calculator). This is not true when I actually ship. It comes to around $15.00. Expensive but much more reasonable. I would send an email to see if they can offer an actual quote. But yeah, Otaku......$21.60 (if my math is close) is way out of wack!
