I tried to ship a package today that was 1.014kg. It was 14 GRAMS too heavy to ship as a small packet and they wanted to charge me $33 to ship it Express, which was the cheapest option at that weight.
The woman at the counter didn't even point out to me that if I made the package 14 grams lighter, I'd be able to ship it way cheaper. Luckily I knew the rules or I might have just reluctantly sent it Express.
So I opened it up right there, cut out ONE of the four flaps at the top of the box and taped it back up. It was like 20 grams under 1kg, and it cost me 12 whole dollars to ship.
Canada Post keeps complaining that they have to keep increasing their rates because nobody wants to use the postal service anymore, but it's their retarded policies that make me not want to use their service in the first place. I would buy and sell way more crap online if they would just get it together and straighten out their flat rate policies.
There's no point to this thread, I just needed to rant.
