Unfortunately I don't get to set Canada Post's shipping rates.

I used the online rate calculator first, to see what the options were. The International Small Packet Surface method was the cheapest available, and the Air mode for the same service was about double.

Then to double-check, I took the box into my post office and asked how much to ship it by either method to the UK or Luxembourg. The numbers you see are rounded to the nearest dollar (CAD), which I don't think is unreasonable.

For reference, today's exchange rate puts the Canadian dollar at $0.8725 US.

If it can indeed be repaired, this is a pretty damn good deal for a 5500 PCI.

hmm dunno about repair'n cards hehe the components are small and need to be placed securely with extreme care, since it's a non working card still nice for Display hehe to show people what a 5500 PCI Is

There are more auctions on ebay with 5500 PCI's it's not that they are that rare at all, If you need a working one Paul I'll be wishing to give you an url Wink

Listen:

I told you already that Paul has dibs on it, because he called it before you. Since I'm not asking for bids and only want to cover the shipping cost, it's first come, first serve. I'm not going to give it to someone else under the table just because they get the money to me a day sooner.

Furthermore, I couldn't give you a shipping quote over the weekend. Canada Post's online rate calculator isn't always accurate with respect to what I actually have to pay at the post office (it was low by $10 CAD on the overseas quotes). The post office here is NOT open on the weekends, and I have to make a 25 km round trip to get there on most weekdays. In other words, back the hell off.
