Title says all.
 
Trying to make sure card arrives within the setup-up shipment period, and also to minimize down time as much as possible at a reasonable price.
anyone know any good recommended carriers from Canada?
 
Thanks

    Welcome to the forums VicViperX,
     
    Best choices are usually UPS, Fedex, Purolator, or DHL.  I wouldnt suggest Canada Post because they hand off to USPS and USPS's insurance process is a nightmare if you have any claim.

    There is just one problem with all of them over using Xpresspost, they cost significantly more. For example to go with Purolator with warranty from a major center in Canada to Brea, it is $70 for ground that if shipped say on Monday would get there the following Monday not guaranteed. Or you can move up to the next option which is next business day guaranteed for about $160. And the others are around the same. Xpresspost is about $60 with insurance for 3 days guaranteed, $45 for 5 days.
     
    So as you can see, shipping costs kind of suck here.
     
    @raxtor  Generally it would be labeled and treated as an RMA. At least that is how I did it in the past.

    Except Xpresspost is Canada Post, once again, which hands off to USPS who is very bad with the insurance claims process. If Purilator is only $10 more, it's worth the cost rather than the 2 months of delays while USPS figures out what to do.

    Also for a Step-up, it is not an RMA, so putting that on the customs documents would be false. And when EVGA does ship back, they label it properly.
