I purchased 6 coins from one seller last week... combined shipping $4.... The auction finished this weekend... I received the coins today... express post...

Needless to say I was very impressed... but don't think I'll see that kind of service for much longer..

USPS recorded losses of 4.98B and 15.9B in 2013 and 2012. That's over 20 billion dollars in the past two years.


In government nowadays, that's almost as good as a profit. As least people get their mail, so there's something to show for it.

The story about postal outlets charging more than real offices is a myth.

I always calculate my postal rates on the Canada Post website before shipping stuff and the prices I get charged at pharmacies with outlets and the post offices are both the same as the website.

I agree with 1945V, they charge the official rates.

The effects of large scale quantitative easing are starting to really percolate through our economies. Higher fuel prices mean increased delivery costs. The more they print, the worse it will get.

For those who want to save shipping charge to the US and international.
DYK Logistics is now shipping to USPS from Calgary. Essentially,
you pay USPS rate and they take your packages
to the US post office for a small fee.

Anyone tried this?
