Additional Fees

• If your padded envelope exceeds the maximum dimensions of 35.5 cm x 25.5 cm x 2.5 cm (14 in x 10 in x 1 in), you may need to use a larger envelope or a box, which can increase the cost.
• If you're mailing a padded envelope to a destination outside of Canada, you'll need to use an international rate, which can be more expensive.

Tips to Save Money

• Use a smaller padded envelope to reduce weight and size.
• Consider using a bubble mailer or a lightweight padded envelope to reduce costs.
• Use a shipping calculator to estimate the cost of mailing your padded envelope.
• Consider using a courier service like Purolator or UPS, which may offer more competitive rates for larger or heavier packages.

Keep in mind that these rates are subject to change, so it's always a good idea to check the Canada Post website or consult with a postal representative for the most up-to-date information.
