hey hello hiiiiiii @otakureaderartist, tumblr won't let me reply to your comment on my post so i'm doing it LOUD IN PUBLIC STYLE ;D it's one of these, i thiiiiiiink. i will say it's not a perfect solution; things kinda have to sit in there at an angle a little bit, but the adjustable dividers are real nice to have. the specific markings on this one say it's Model 3750, Mold #4000. looks like they're nice and cheap! i'm gonna get a second one!

why is your canada shipping so expensive :( trying to buy 2 of the hard drive reminder cards and the shipping is more expensive than the cards themselves

hi anon, i'm really sorry about this AND i can fix it! but i do want to explain, because i think it's something people should know if they're buying from Etsy (and other small sellers running their own shops online). it's due to a combination of several things (for which there is a solution at the end of this ramble that may or may not make any sense): -those items are listed with Etsy's special tracked letter-rate shipping, which allows me to send small, flat envelopes under 1oz for cheap within the US. the tracked letter rate is not available outside the USA, and thanks to some back end stuff on Etsy i just end up having to show the package rate to international customers instead of what i'd charge for a stamped international letter. it's, um, less than ideal. -international package rates are just plain mean and rude to small sellers and cool people who buy from them! the base price of sending even a small a tracked package to canada is frankly absurd, like i can send a bubble mailer full of charms up to the washington border for $5 but if it goes into BC suddenly it's $11. international stamps are still less than 2 dollaroonis but god forbid you have a one-ounce 4x6 bubble mailer, get out your checkbook -Etsy forces you to provide tracked shipping for orders over $10. this confounds the entire issue of shipping even further. i *could* send stamped mail, but there's no way to set up a shipping profile that's like "regular rates for most people but international customers spending less than $10 can get it for stamped envelope price

-i also typically insure international packages because otherwise there can be badtimes and that's rolled into the shipping price so that's like a dollar of the bonkers price you're seeing lol

TL;DR shipping is goofy and it gets goofier when it crosses a border (and when Etsy fails for years to develop simple workarounds for common problems like this LKDSFGHFDSJK) HOWEVER: since these are flat items, and two of them won't go over the $10 "must have tracking" limit, if you send me a message over on Etsy (just hit that contact button on my shopfront), let me know you're Canada Anon, i can work around it, create a custom listing for you, and send them in a stamped envelope. they just won't have tracking. :)
