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?

When you use stamps there is no tax to add. The fuel charge gets adjusted every month (so that may vary up or down depending on fuel prices).

But I am pretty sure you must take it to your postal outlet or post office to mail it.

The clerk will enter the info and they should see a place to subtract the amount paid with stamps from the total  cost.
