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?

I don't actually know the answer to your question but I have a question of my own:

If you do it this way, you won't have tracking and then you'd lose any Item Not Received claims, so are you sure that's what you want to do?

What I think I would do instead is take my stamps to the postal counter and get that barcode for tracking but still pay with my stamps. I believe that is entirely doable. 

But others know better than me. Like @reallynicestamps for example. She has ALL the answers.
