OT Postage to Canada

Dave H (MI) · Jan 28, 2016

This may be a stupid question. Does it cost more than standard first class postage to mail a regular letter from USA to Canada? Getting ready to send something out. Have a postage meter here in the office but I'll be dipped if I can figure out how to use it to get an answer.

We use to have a relative in Canada-every year we sent them a Christmas card, and we always put 2 std US stamps on. That was before the forever stamp.

So I beleive extra postage is needed, not sure how much.

Yes it costs more. Three year ago it cost sixty cents for a regular letter. I'm sure the rares have gone up.

I have a camp in Nova Scotia so I have to mail bills quite often and after a few problems I decided to go to the post office it's much easier.

Used to be $.95, but rates just went up. It's a little over a dollar now, but not sure exactly.

$1.20 for a letter to Canada. Per the US postal web site. joe

In winter from September to May there is an additional surcharge to feed the sled dogs hauling the mail.

ALSO to cover the WCB costs inherent with the mail persons using snowshoes !

Could I just attach a bag of Purina Dog Chow to the letter? (;>))

Awesome, thank you! Now I can mail it out to him before I get really hammered with work and forget.

If you are not sending a tangible product, why not just send a (free) email?

If you ARE sending something of value and customs picks up on it the postage will be the least of tour $$$ worries, IMHO.

This has "International Incident" written all over it...

I just sent my son a Birthday card from AZ to A town near Montreal. The lady told me it took "two Forevers and a Penguin" A penguin is a 22 cent stamp with a picture of a penguin.
