hallen78 Report post Posted August 10, 2021 I'd like to order the FMCA 2021 Road atlas- however, I"m in Canada and the shipping is over $45 for a $17 atlas!!! Would someone be willing to buy it for me if I paypal them and put it in a manilla envelope which I'm pretty sure you could send to me for $5 instead of $45? Thanks!

ianbullock Report post Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) If you call the folks at the FMCA store they will mail it to you for far less. I have done this several times. Edited August 10, 2021 by ianbullock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted August 11, 2021 Jim S. Not really, just that Canada is considered International mail. The Atlas is the same....I also get the Truckers Atlas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hallen78 Report post Posted August 11, 2021 Is the atlas not capable of fitting into a large brown envelope? I don't think that would cost $45 to send to me I'm not in the North Pole! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use the truckers atlas to verify my routes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hallen78 Report post Posted August 11, 2021 I think the FMCA atlas lists all the campgrounds, RV safe routes etc- I have not found it at Walmart in Canada....I just thought if FMCA offered it- then it was something that was suppose to be of benefit to it's members- excuse me for thinking paying $45 for shipping a soft covered book essentially is an outrageous charge to FMCA's Canadian Members!

rossboyer Report post Posted August 11, 2021 FMCA cannot help what the shipping cost is charged to send that large a package to Canada. When in the US, buy one at an Area rally or National convention. If stationary for long enough in the US, have FMCA ship one to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hallen78 Report post Posted August 11, 2021 Thing is that would NOT be the shipping price- I have envelopes come daily from the USA that would fit that sized book and FMCA is not even willing to look at finding me a solution! I am TRYING to utilize things available to me with the FMCA with the current border situation to make my membership beneficial and it seems as FMCA is not interested!
