We got this memo at the post offices on Friday, May 26, 2023 but I didn't get a chance to share it. Goes into effect today (Monday, May 29th). Discount on Expedited Parcel service with your Canada Post SFSB account: 15% off under 100g; 10% off 101-250 g. Note that this is not the new 'Expedited Lite' service being offered directly through eBay - the term 'Expedited Lite' isn't mentioned anywhere. It says this is valid from May 29-Dec 31 of this year, but doesn't indicate it's a promotion anywhere, so if I had to guess they're just trialing this for the rest of the year, and will make it a permanent feature in 2024 (or abandon it completely if it ends up losing them money). I think this will still end up being more expensive than eBay's "Expedited Lite", but it does go up to 250 g ('Expedited Lite' is only up to 200 g), AND it's available at the post office counter so can be utilitized by the folks who use 'stamps on a box'. For those of us that only have a SFSB Level 1 discount, it still may be cheaper to print postage through eBay for items between 200 and 250g because we're getting a Level 4 discount here, but I haven't run the numbers yet. The memo indicates a marketing email will be sent out (presumably today, but I haven't received anything yet). The webpage is up and running though: canadapost.ca/lightweight
