How many stamps would i need to mail a bracelet to Sweden from Canada?
Posted on October 31st, 2009 by admin
The bracelet is just made of like 10 strands of embroidery thread. I’d also like to include a sheet of paper in the letter. How many stamps would I have to put on the envilope? I’m from canada ( Ontario, Toronto to be exact ) and would like to ship the bracelet and sheet of paper to sweden.
thanks! 
Canada Post goes by weight. From the sound of things, it won’t be that heavy, but you also don’t want someone feeling the envelope, and deciding to rip it open and keep the bracelet for themselves.
I would suggest you go to the nearest post office, get them to give you a sturdy cardboard mailer to use. Inside, you put the bracelet and the letter you want to send. You close it up and give it to the postal clerk to be weighed.
Because it is an international letter (has to go to Sweden), you will pay more than normal Canada postage. If the mailer envelope is a normal size, and less than 30g in weight, you might pay as little as $1.86 to get it there.
Just tell the clerk if you want to ship it in the least expensive method, and he/she will suggest something.
You should also note that there is no guarantee that it gets to your destination. If this is a valuable bracelet, you probably will want to insure it when you ship it. If it is just a hand-crafted bracelet you made yourself for a friend and has no special importance if it is lost in the mail (you could make another one), then I would not worry about that.

It depends on the total weight of the package. One stamp will do but it has to be the correct value. Take the package to your local post office. They will weigh it and tell you the correct postage.
