I created a new thread because I'm at a loss today as to what has changed again with the Small Packet airmail base rates to the US and Internationally. (Note that all the other services, including Tracked Packet do match the rates in my documents)
Note that these are Canada Post errors/changes, I'd be interested to know if the other providers are correct or not?
As well the error in my other thread that the "parcel" Fuel Surcharge rate is being applied instead of the "packet" FS rate continues. Here is a link to it for reference: https://community.ebay.ca/t5/Seller-Central/FYI-New-Fuel-Surcharge-Packet-Parcel-rates-error-for-Sma...
I can't find anything in the CP documents regarding the base rates changing for the Small Packets, but perhaps I didn't look in the right place?
Today whilst I was mailing small packets this is what I encountered:
USA under 250g small packet air (remember I use stamps so I only get the first level SSB discount level)
Based on the documentation I have the price should be
$9.48 x 1.0875 FS = $10.31
the error up till today was
$9.48 x 1.1075 FS = $10.50
Today it is
$9.80 x 1.1075 FS = $10.85
(the rate change from $9.48 to $9.80 is 2.46%)
India under 100g small packet air (remember I use stamps so I only get the first level SSB discount)
Based on the documentation I have the price should be
$11.78 x 1.0875 FS = $12.81
the error up till today was
$11.78 x 1.1075 FS = $13.04
Today it is
$12.07 x 1.1075 FS = $13.37
(the rate change from $11.78 to $12.07 is 3.38%)
Perhaps I've missed something in the postal guides somewhere, there were updates today, but I can't find anything affecting the Small Packets prices....the rate increase is not consistent between the US one and India one....those are the only two I sent out today.
Until I get this figured out it is going to be a pain I'll have to go to the PO armed with extra stamps to put on.....
