No discrepancy in pricing between corporate or private postal outlets

Ottawa (ON) – An email suggesting a discrepancy between Canada Post corporate and private postal outlets has resurfaced. Canada Post wishes to remind customers that this email contains misinformation and should be deleted immediately.

All automated post offices – corporate or dealer – use the same retail point-of-sale system software and will charge the same rate for the same service. With over 6,000 post offices across Canada with convenient hours of operations, Canada Post is the country’s most accessible network.

1023chris, I have some ocean front property for sale in Saskatchewan. How many lots would you like?

Interesting, while the RPO is not a CP owned site, it is managed by them. Standards, policy and procedure must be adhered to. As well, the PO manger is paid by their company, but, CP pays their employer those wages. In essence, CP, is paying the RPO manager.

That is not possible.  Someone at the Shoppers Drug Mart is a theft and should be reported to Canada Post.
