Ready to give up on shipping parts (or anything)...

Thanks for info Kim. I would assume the flat rate is for shipping within our beautiful borders? What if you didnt do "flat rate" and shipped in the padded envelope?
Post office in our home town has excellent staff. Friendly, knowledgable and cute females. No grumps.
I’m in Canada. We finally got flat rate boxes up here this year. Only good for 11 pounds. To ship in a padded envelope 2 provinces over was $18.00. To ship the same thing to Georgia was $9.00. I’m amazed we can ship to the states cheaper than across our own country. We have to pay for the boxes and envelopes. Kim
