I’m not sure how widely known this bit of information is.
When you send a parcel to another province Canada Post charges tax at the rate applicable in the destination province, not the rate which is current here in B.C. So if you want to send a parcel to a province with a higher tax rate than B.C. you end up having to pay their rate.
Great if you are sending to a non-HST province; a bit of a pain if you are sending to a higher tax rate province.
