Hi, I'm also really new on Etsy, and also have no idea how this shipping thing works :P I looked on the Canada Post calculator, and I think the minimum charge is around $12? My items are really small (vintage pendants, charms, small things) and I think that's a little expensive as the shipping cost is nearly as much as the price of my items. Is there no other way to ship? Did I calculate this right? Is it the same to ship to the U.S? Also, I'm from Toronto :)
