Verified Trader,
Ok, ok, now I know your thinking, why is he talking about Canada Post?? Well, I did something today that I have never done in the past.
I drove into Fort Erie, Ontario and mailed out Canada bound packages!
Now my excursion starts by getting my car inspected by customs looking to contraband! So I'm held up for 20 minutes, then I get to the post office on Jarvis St. and to my surprise, no one is in line. Thats the good part
The next part opened my eyes. The reason I drove up was one of the packages needed to be tracked. Well, the last time I did that, it ended costing that person some money because of the lovely GST. So, I expected that the package would be around 10-12 to ship and it was. Cool, so far, so good.
I had 5 other packages that just needed a 1.15 stamp, so far, so good.
It's the last package that killed me! All I will say is that for an extra .45 cents, it was sent ExpressPost because the costs on shipping a package that normally would be about $3 in Buffalo was $10+!!!!
YIKES!!! And to top it off, there's a fuel surcharge? WOW!! Remind me of this post when I have a gripe with the USPS!
In the end, for those that are expecting stuff from me, it's on the way.
And I probably will not do this again!

ps: yes, I had to get a Double-Double on the Canadian side... Make me want to get another now at one of the 14 that surround my house in Buffalo now.
