Mailing Something by Regular Parcel Using Stamps- How Much Do You Attach

[steveross]

So I want to mail a package by Regular Parcel with no insurance or other options, and I have a bunch of stamps I want to use up and stick it in the mailbox rather than go to the Post Office.

It's 24x18x6 cm and only weighs 78 grams, and the Canada Post website says to Saskatchewan it will cost:

Regular Price:    $12.44

Fuel Surcharge:   $1.43

Tax:                           $0.69

Since I've already paid tax on stamps, I always just put the regular price on when sending lettermail. When you're sending a parcel, though, do you attach just the regular price or the regular price + fuel surcharge?

If you don't have a Canadapost Venture One account you can use this link to check your postage and apply the correct amount of postage.

With a Venture One account you would qualify for discounts on postage and is  very quick and painless to apply for and can be done at the Canadapost main website.

If the OP is using stamps, then the over-the-counter rate is in effect when using stamps (link gives the correct values if you are not signed into the Canada Post website when using the calculator).
