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?

Regular Parcel is tracked within Canada.

You can take your parcel to the PO counter  and stick the stamps on there or stick them on at home.

Then the PO clerk adds a barcoded sticker and gives you a receipt for $0.00 (or for a few pennies if you have to add a bit of postage).

The last time I did this I was charged the fuel surcharge,which is not included in the price of stamps you buy .

But the sales tax had already been paid.

REMEMBER TO LEAVE ROOM FOR THE BARCODE!

You can dump the stamped package in the corner mailbox, but there will be no domestic tracking if you do that, and Regular Parcel is a domestically tracked service.

Currently, Expedited Parcel is the same price as Regular Parcel, and is faster and has some insurance.
