Hey Lotech,
Don't stress, I've recently shipped a total of four rods to Calgary, Alberta Canada, one just today to FAOL Member, nickOdanger.
All the rods were shipped USPS Air Priority with the appropriate customs forms filled out, and they all cost no more than $16 to ship.
If you have any questions, or would like help with the Custom's forms, please email me and give me your phone # and I'll call you to help you out.
