Lol this isn't new for Canadian shipping from US. They also require customs forms. Last time I got a quote to ship jerky to Canada was two years ago, and it was $35 then, so $40 doesn't seem like a huge jump.

Pirate ship didn't say anything about this when I was printing out label. Wish they would have. It's got me fuming. 🤬 Fucking governments! Garbage trash pieces of shit.!
Sounds like Pirate Ship isn't very good for you this week. You have to click on the Extra Services and fill in the customs form too. Also, their chat service in the corner is pretty fast.
Shipping anything to Canada is more than $28 usd from my experience
