Hah someone's gotta help me out, I'm pretty low on the cash right now and I'm trying to send out a parcel and I have no idea how many stamps to put on it. I don't want to have to go to the post office and have them do it for me because I already have a sheat of stamps bought

The parcel is in a 13.3 X 23.8 cm enveloppe, i'd guess not much more then 100 grams.

I tried checking with Canada Post's website and i got an estimate of $9 worth of postage and that doesn't seem right. Anyone have any ideas?

Hey Zulrath - this is right up my alley as I am in Logistics for the company I work for.


Where are you shipping to and from (postal codes will suffice).  You may find that it's cheaper to courier, believe it or not.


Let me know, happy to help.

It's the dimensions that are jacking up the freight rate, Zul.  Is there any way you can cut it down (ie. if documents, fold them into a smaller envelope)?


If not, I am afraid Canada Post has got you.  However, an alternative is FedEx or almost any courier- rate is $10.10 with FedEx but you get a signature proof of delivery and the ability to trace it.


Ironic, snail mail is within .50 cents of a national courier.  Canada Post - what does that tell you???
