thanks for the info!

Time to stock up on P stamps - especially with them being 10 % off at Rexall this week.

I did not know that. I wonder if they are having that sale in Estevan...?

[kool_105]

they are already 58cents for a reg stamp after tax here. stupid canada post!

[Woofy]

3 cents increase? That's a 5.6% inflation rate!

Last I checked, I thought our inflation rate was less than 1%!

[bluerose]

They just make me so angry ,I mailed a small package weighing less than half a pound 325 grams and it cost me over 11.00 bucks I sent them a email and told them that was it, I need stamps but parcels will be few n far between,Gosh the spirit of Christmas crashes with these people instead of sending a presant I will just send money.

For regular mail, honestly I think it's still inexpensive to mail a letter.
However, their parcel rates are absolutely ridiculous!

[YesI'mcheap]

For this reason I'm now sending all christmas present on the Greyhound bus. I'm sending tw big packages and it is going to about 20.00 on the bus and it is there the next day or so. Where with Canada Post I was told about 30.00 and it could take up two weeks( I know this worst case) but I'm tired of dealing with Canada Post.

[VeeVee]

At my work we send parcels to Japan all the time. We used to use Canada Post and it cost us about $120 dollars and arrived in about 3 weeks. We now use FedEx and it cost us....about $38 dollars and arrives in less then a week!

[swallow_046]

I hate Canada Post

[NancyM]

omg are you kidding me so now i get to pay more money for really bad service

[vibrantflame]

I am totally stocking up! Costco here I come!

[aussie]

I am totally stocking up! Costco here I come!

Good idea!!!
