CP Calculator..not showing Expedited Canada,,what am I doing wrong?

[kashka]

I know I am doing something wrong..haven't listed for awhile and I guess I just forget things..When I go to CP's website calculator and enter my info for domestic shipping in Canada I don't get the Expedited quote..just Parcel..I'm on the business portion of the website..is there something I need to check to get an Expedited quote?Thanks..

No.. I haven't had to use it in the past but maybe thats changed?.I'm looking for a quote and entered the size ,weight,postal code and just get back Priority,Express but not the Expedited quote.

There used to be a way to do get the expedited quote but I don't remember how. Poco would probably know.

Why don't you just go to paypal.com/shipnow and input all of the information there and then of course cancel it before you print. That way, you know what the paypal expedited rate is.

Go to the CP Find a Rate page here

http://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/apps/far/business/findARate?execution=e2s1

Put in your dimensions and weight, click Find and the results will appear. Only regular Parcel will appear because Expedited Parcel within Canada is for business users. At the top of the results page you will see

Join VentureOne™ to Save on Shipping! - Show Savings

Click on the Show Savings and Expedited Parcel will now appear on the results page. All shipping services rates will be discounted 5%. You will see that Regular Parcel and Expedited Parcel rates are identical but EP has $100 insurance included and a guaranteed delivery time that is usually 2 days faster that Regular Parcel with no guarantee.

Not that it matters much because you will get an 18% discount if you use Expedited Parcel using PayPal shipping. Please note it is 18% from the full over the counter price for Regular Parcel so make sure that you do not compare to the Venture one price that is already discount 5%. Otherwise you will think you are not getting the full 18%.

When you are on the CP website, there are two different pages where applicable for Business (Orange tab on top right) and Personal (Green tab on top right). Make sure you are on the Business section for information if you ship using PayPal shipping or with your Venture One business card at the post office.

PS I would like to mention that Regular Parcel is only available within Canada. Expedited Parcel USA is available for shipping to the USA for business or non-business users. When using PayPal shipping, it is considered to be business rates so business shipping services like Expedited Parcel Canada are available.
