Does anyone know how much it costs to ship them to Canada? Last time I ordered something from the States (Prelief) I paid something like 25 dollars for shipping and I don't want that again
OUCH christine. That is alot. I wonder if it might be cheaper if it is shipped like personal mail. For example what if I buy it then ship it to you? Does anyone know if that would help on the shipping cost? Any way I can help let me know.
I just ordered 4 bracelets. I thought of another person who I would like to get one for. Anyone have any idea if there is a way to add something on to your order before it is processed. I really do not want to pay shipping again for one bracelet. Thanks!!
