When I ship a hoop to Canada I charge people what it costs me which usually is less than $12.00 I am on the East coast of the US and shipping way out to the west coast of Canada . Just tell the customer how much it is. I have never had anyone complain of shipping being too expensive. I think most people understand that if you are a great distance from the product that you are purchasing it will cost you to get it there.

yeah, if it's not a collapsible hoop, shipping across the border is a ripoff, I'm in Canada and I had to pay $20 shipping to the U.S. for a hoop :( - expensive
Also a little note; Canada customs is a bunch of jerks, if you don't sent all that much stuff to Canada, I'm sure your customers would greatly appreciate if you marked the package as a sample or a gift.

actually I have one more question, how on etsy is it possible to adjust the shipping. So like this girl has already payed through paypal for her hoop, so how do I go about charging her the extra money if it ends up being like 10 dollars more. Do I just post a 10 shipping charge post like that or something or am I unable to get her to pay if she doesn't feel like paying for the extra?

Or you could encourage your customer to buy local, support all the amazing Canadian hoop makers...;)
