Shipping Method Inquiry

Hello, I was just wondering what's the difference between the Free Shipping option Vs FedEx (International Priority) that is $108.95 option.
I'm waiting for the Black Friday sale and I live in within Canada. My checkout cart is well over the $200+ and I was just wondering if it will take longer for my order to be processed and shipped if I were to choose the Free Shipping option than the FedEx (IP) option?

Fedex charges pretty steep customs handling fees on top of government taxes. Seems like they also charge $5/item too on top of the base fees if it's more than 5 items. DHL charges around $20 vs $10 with the post if I'm remembering correctly.

All the extra fees + the extra shipping costs would kind of cancel out the sale discount and probably cost even more than without the sale just using the standard reddit code+free shipping when its back. Kind of had some other unexpected and health expenses/issues too so was already going to be a bit of a stretch.
Do you think you could do a boxing day sale targeting Canadians as a make up sale?

Yeah, it sucks, but I guess that's what the Canada Post strikers want. They want to cause chaos so that their demands are met. It sucks we are all caught in the middle getting fucked by it. If the strike ends, we can see if there is a sale we can do for Canadians separately. I am not sure if we can do country-specific sales, but I will look into it.
