Here is my example:
29cm x 27cm x 12cm, 3.017Kg to zip code 10002.
VCD Quoted $21.88 inc. GST
Counter Rate $22.15 inc GST.
I would have received a 27 cent discount or in otherwords about a 1.3 % discount.
I paid the extra 27 cents and shipped it at the counter rather than have some kind of extra fee for cubing/ fuel/ surcharge etc and other fees that appear on my bill.
Thanks for nothing Canada Post.

How could they ??? The manifests go one way and the packages go another when they are unloaded . It's total random , if an package it inspected
A package should never come back for not cubing , it should just be sur-charged ...once again if it did that's Canada Post being lazy

I have also noticed that lately, fewer of our items are being cubed by Canada Post (the majority still are , but less than 3 months ago).
I have a feeling that the extra labour involved to measure everything was slowing down mail service. Either that or the inside workers arent getting anything more for measuring, so why bother.
Maybe that will be an issue in their next contract talks. If they have to weigh and measure parcels, they will think that they deserve a 35% increase in wages which of course Canada Post will give them after a 6 week walk-out that will cost us all millions in lost sales.

Is there a special course we could take, lets say at the University of "I Dont Give A Darn".
Also I would like to know where I could purchase a computer that always makes a mistake in my favour so I can tell customers, 'sorry the computer says thats how much it costs and we all know the computer doesnt make a mistake'.
I guess I was taught to be diplomatic and fair and treat people as equals by my parents. Oh how they have condemned me to a life of poverty for being honest, thoughtful, caring and thinking that there are others on earth with the same way of thinking and believing.
Oh I forgot, people that work in monopolies arent from earth. (They arent from heaven either so where do you think they are from and where do you think they are going?)

I emailed my rep about the comparison charges and to ask again what my VCD discount is on Xpresspost USA. Last time this happened I was told that the person at the counter "must have made a mistake".
I wonder if I will get the same answer about this one.

Define poverty! I was brought up the same way and, while we don't have any more money than we absolutely need to keep body and soul together, we have a lot of friends many of whom started off as "just" customers! I call that rich!
Now, to keep this more or less on topic, I probably shouldn't give away secrets, but I get a 15% to 20% discount on all shipments, letter-mail included, by buying my stamps at 80% to 85% of face value from stamp-dealers. A little work to lick all those stamps, but so what! And it impresses a fair number of our buyers too.

With my cost of shipping averaging between $20 - $40 per item, I would be licking until the cows came home, as a matter of fact I would probably have to buy a couple of cows to help me do all that licking.
I agree with your take on being rich and that is why I am doing what I am doing and have my son as my partner.
I am rich with family and friends and wouldnt trade for the other kind of richness, a point I was trying to make about the type of careless people that run monopolies.
(I had the other type of rich too but I looked in the mirror one day and saw my partners face and decided to sell out my part of the business).

Stamp shows are another place you might find a dealer willing to sell postage at a discount. I'll be looking for some myself this weekend!

"I checked in our system, with your discount level 2, the rate is $21.4 plus the 2.25% fuel surcharge which would come up to $21.88 as with VCD. With the Venture One card you have, you are qualified for the Small Business rate and the charge for your item is $ 21.65 plus fuel surcharge which would come to $22.15. I am surprised to see the difference in prices is only $0.27. I guess you are getting a very good deal with the Venture One card !!!"
