""""""The Regulations to the Canada Post Corporation Act specify that a letter-post item cannot contain any "goods" like a small gift, book, CD or similar item. It appears that some retail outlets misinterpreted the Regulations & were accepting letter-post items in error. All outlets have now been reminded of the correct application of the Regulations.
It was to clarify this point that we recently updated out web site to indicate that US & International letter-post has content regulations that we must observe, while domestic lettermail is based on the size of the item. The content regulations apply to your pins, & the Small Packet rate must be used for mailing them outside Canada. Within Canada, however, they may be sent as lettermail."""""""

Why is the US pkg cheaper as it is heavier and bigger size? Then the Cdn pkg should be adjusted lower accordingly.
I was also charge a fuel surcharge of 50 cents and then GST taxes on it?? what is that about?

I have it in writing from Moya Greene, Pres & CEO of Canada Post that there is no problem sending a lapel pin by 'other lettermail' - that means within Canada. Less than 2 cm & less than 100 g is only $1 plus GST.
The problem for pin collectors like me is the interpretation of Regulations resulting in having to use Small Packet services after Sept 19 to send pins to US or to any other destination outside of Canada. For years I've been trading pins with people outside of Canada using 'other letter-post' with never a problem.
