So, I was researching pricing on an item ...

How long has CP been doing this?

I have no idea. I've never seen that before. What an odd thing for a post office to do.

Everybody wants to be everything these days. eBay wants to be Amazon and CanadaPost thinks they are PriceGrabber when they are actually MoneyGrabber.

What's next ? Microsoft airlines or Bell steakhouse ...

Canada post is out for another money grab. Seems every company is not what it should be 😞

Even stranger, when I click on a couple of book titles I am taken to a company called Book Scene (never heard of them before either) who are promoting shipping within Canada via Canada Post for a flat rate of $2.99.

Given that the average hardcover is around 2lbs I cannot see how they are doing this unless they are getting a very, very substantial discount from CP.

Interesting that Ebay is not a partner in this.

Sort of like a mafia mentality, all crown, government agency now wants a cut of the merchant's profit. Exclusivity in what they do is no longer enough to satisfy their insatiable monetary needs.

No wonder our mail is not on time most of the time, they have their partners to take care of first.
