Just a head's up for people that regularly use Canada Post's flat rate boxes: they've quietly announced a price increase to go into effect on Monday, March 6, 2023. Post offices were given little notice of this increase, and I don't think there was any public announcement. Reason cited as a response to increased fuel costs. Small is going from $18.99 to $19.99 (5.3% increase).Medium is going from $23.99 to $24.99 (4.2% increase).Large is going from $29.99 to $32.99 (10% increase). If you regularly use these boxes it might be beneficial to stock up before Monday. If your local post office is out of stock they can be ordered directly from canadapost.ca in cases of 12 (free shipping applies for all orders over $25). Or, you can place an order directly at any Canada Post location, pay at the counter, and your order will be shipped to your home or business. If anyone has a paraticular affinity for the folks at their local CPC outlet you would be helping them out quite a bit if you placed an order in person, as Canada Post's "Sales Focus" (a sales target goal that post offices try to meet) for the months of March and April is for processing a certain number of in-person orders from customers (called "Direct Ship" orders). If you want to do this just go in and say you would like to make a "Direct Ship" order for flat rate boxes (or they should know what you're talking about if you say you would like to order some flat rate boxes to be shipped to your home). Preferably go and make the order during the day when it's more likely that a manager will be present; part-time staff may struggle with processing the order as it is an uncommon transaction. If you use stamps or any other Canada Post product they can be ordered in the same way, as can coins and other collectible items. Don't forget to provide your Solutions for Small Business account number when making any order (online or at the counter) - you don't get a discount on the flat rate boxes, but any money spent does count towards your annual spend that determines your Savings Level.
