Royal mail to Canada

[cikka0477]

Hi,

Someone in Canada is interested in an item I'm selling; they have asked if I'd send it with Royal mail as it's cheaper than Global Shipping. 

Has anyone on here had any trouble sending to Canada through RM & is there anything else I should be aware of?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

2 things.

If item is listed as GSP, you can't send direct, will need to opt out of GSP & relist item with your own postage.

Under new VAT rules started on 1st July, you have to include electronic IOSS when buying postage online, can NOT be done at PO.
