Yes - they are just offering a discounted rate for UPS or USPS. So anywhere UPS or USPS ships will work.

Found a pair of skis that I would love to get in Revelstoke, BC. UPS and FedEx are around $95 to get them to MN... YIKES! Any tricks on shipping from the great white north to the states?

i just shipped 2 pairs of skis both mounted with alpine clamps and a pair of poles in a ski bag (40lbs total) 3 day select from Vt to Reno for $130 and it’s insured for $3500. I used pirate ship. Was $190 from UPS directly.

get the shipper to send you their address and stuff and do a slip on pirate ship and email to said shipper.

Pirate ship no worky for Canada --> USA. That was my first stop, now looking for other options.

That seems reasonable for international shipping. It has to go through shit on both sides... you get fucked.

I'm sure it's been mentioned already, but if shipping skis mounted with bindings, secure the binding/brakes properly.
It's amazing these weren't damaged, all things considered.
