Before we get too nasty with names about this, the USPS has a terrible
website for finding first class to Canada.
It intentionally steers people into priority, with first class as a somewhat
hidden option.
It is very common to miss the cheaper rates unless one reads the fine print.
No good deed goes unpunished.

Totally ridiculous. One pound First Class International is $10.25 at the
PO and it will take a lot of tubing to add up to that in a manila
envelope.
Many mistakenly select Priority Mail International which is mandatory over
4 pounds and is $20.25 at one pound.
All rates are less if done on line.

20 bucks to ship a few feet to Canada ... that's insane.

If anyone is in need of some Teflon tubing, I have some # 11 gauge. It is
fine for # 12 AWG or smaller wire.
I am not trying to make money on this. I will sell it for 0.75 US$ per
foot.
I will ship world wide via USPS priority
mail. Shipping cost will be $6.00 in the USA and US$20.00 worldwide.
Please
note that the postal rates for shipping to
outside the USA have gone up this year.
