I wish I could use the promo! I should be able to since I am rural but a few years ago Canada Post said our small PO couldnt handle the mail for sorting so they changed our Postal code from one full of zeros to a large post office in a big town a 1/2 hr drive from me. I still use my rural PO (it's only 6 kms away in a little village) but can't use the promo code. Not exactly big city here, we only have a convenience store/gas bar in my little hamlet. Plus it's really confusing for deliveries, the trucks are always going to the town where the post office postal code is.

I'm absolutely using it! It's made a HUGE difference for me. It basically allows rural sellers to get the same prices as someone sending something from a major center.

Hi. Has anyone heard if this rural ship discount will be renewed/continued into 2023?

As far as I know it isn't. I assume they'll probably take a few months to compile the data, then decide whether to offer it again when everyone's sales slow down in the summer 😞

For the time being, I think the focus for many of us is going to have to be higher value items or lettermail. Things in between may have to be sold locally.

I'm also bumping this to remind anyone using the code to print off your labels tonight and not wait until Monday 🙂
