Shipping adds up quick with distance. From California to New York ground, 3 pounds is about $19. From California to Quebec, 3 pounds is about $26 dollars. Made up the 3 pounds to get an idea.

Anyone have any experience using Amazon.com (or maybe purchase on Amazon.ca) to try free shipping from US to Canada? I'd rather put more into a gift with free shipping if its out of state and at that point would like to include Canadians.

I've used Amazon.com to make use of free shipping to the US from the UK. Not only that but the Prime trials are/were different per zone, so I got free prime on US Amazon for a month :D

Woah.. What shipping service are you using? I've never had to pay that much for domestic shipping. I usually use USPS who have really good rates. FedEx and UPS tend to be a bit more on the expensive side. (USPS Flat Rate shipping is pretty great).

As for Amazon shipping, I'm not quite sure. But it seems Gwyn got you covered on that question!

Also, we've still got two weeks left now!

Sweet.
So use whatever Amazon region website to get free shipping to that region?
So I could use the UK Amazon website and ship free to UK people?
This would open up a lot of options such as is there a Euro Amazon or is it each country?

Amazon is generally good to ship around Europe anyway. Depends where.

It was a few years ago since I took advantage of this. It may have changed. I know for certain things now Amazon.com requires a US registered credit card, but I'm not wure how much for.

I thought about making a Teamspeak channel that says GC Secret Santa and putting info in the description, but I don't have any TS permissions to do it.. Can someone do this for me?? Might be a little late at this point.. but we still haven't got that 10th person!
