I spent a year traveling Africa and Europe in 2005. Anything sent by anything non DHL was destroyed. I shipped a computer tower to africa and it was packed perfect, that is unless the delivery company and customs didnt decide to have a sumo-rugby-cagefighting contests on top of my package. I mean it was ridiculous! With something like an art poster, good luck. do not use anything but DHL for international mail. I spent a year traveling Africa and Europe in 2005.

A Canadian printing outlet would help - or at least a Canadian distribution outlet. You could send jobs there for printing, or truck up the output from the States before dropping in Regular Old Canada Post for delivery.

Costwise it usually runs about half the price of DHL Worldwide Priority Express (1-3 days). Hugh hugh@qoop.com Thanks for the mention –

It'd be better as a 20"x30" large format print, but it's so cool being able to see a year's worth of (selected) photos at a glance. Definitely worth it!
