Canada Post Prepaid Products Introduction

Today, when I try to search for a good way to post my gift, I find an interesting question like this:

I live in BC and sell to a lot of buyers in MB, ON, QC and further east. Sometimes I sell to some pretty remote cities, and small prepaid Xpresspost seems to be cheaper in some cases (mostly for regional envelopes).

I love that they have National flat rate boxes again! I often get stuck paying $20+ and now I can save a few bucks or more with the small box. I just saved $8 the other day -shipping a larger package to a small town in MB!

I'm curious what other Canadian sellers do to save on shipping costs (besides the measley CP biz discount and shipping letterpost/no tracking)?

Can you save by buying prepaid envelopes in bulk or on the website? My local post offices often run out of the small regional bubble envelopes (so I just end up using the non padded ones). Is it possible to get those labels and use your own envelope?

I don't use online shipping but wondering if that could save me much more than the 5% discount I already get?

I think many people will have a similar problem, when they want to sell something or maybe just post a gift to their friend. So on this page, I would like to introduce some prepaid products like flat rate boxes, xpresspost prepaid envelopes from Canada Post. I hope it can help you to save more money and make a better plan about how to post your things.
