What shipping method does the RCM use to warrant a $12.99 shipping fee for a prooflike set? That is outrageous. No wonder the sets are high on ebay.

If you're looking to ship to the US, then that fee isn't any different than shipping from the US to Canada. (Speaking from personal experience here)

They probably ship via Purolator or FedEx, but I honestly don't know as I can pick up the RCM products at the local CanadaPost office, or coin shop.

It would be cheaper ordering from an online Canadian coin dealer.

What I am noticing on ebay is these are selling just over $10 more than what the RCM charges and the shipping is well above $6.00. Do all the CanadaPost offices sell these? I may have to make the trek to Sault Ste Marie, Ontario which is just over 2 hours north of where I live in Michigan.

Try an online dealer.

www.colonialacres.com
www.jandm.com
www.gatewestcoin.com

See if that saves you any money. What in particular are you after?

I have used Colonial Acres quite often. But the shipping is a bit much for one item but if you order several items then it makes it all worth the cost. I am looking for some prooflike sets from 2007 and possibly 2006. both with the Caribou quarter. However the budget is a bit tight at the moment.
