You are in the land of volumetric weight. You have to get the package down to the bare minimum volume. If you could get this down to 94 cm X 61cm X 12cm (probably too tight). That's fork off and conformal packing. It would be around $170 CDN by Canada Post Xpresspost. I dont see why under Canadian rules you can't ship by even lower and slower ways but that didn't come up on the website. You get length plus girth = 3M and no dimension over 1.5M so it should be easy to ship by the various Canada Post methods.
