Gracious Living Storage Tower, 5-drawer
Sale: $24.99
Here’s a good deal from Canadian Tire; unless you live in an ‘air stage’ zip code, barstards that Canada Post.
This nice little storage unit, less 35% looks like a good deal. Like thousands of other good deals out there, until you check out that is.
Canadian Tire always has the highest shipping costs, so it is not all Canada Post blame I guess, unless other companies do not charge the full freight, or Canadian Tire charges above the going rate.
Any way, the shipping on this $24.99 item would have cost $38.99, plus the taxes = $73.58. Not such a goo deal after all.
Breaking news: Loyola Sullivan, Finance Minister for NL has just announced his resignation from the Hotel Newfoundland. He is, gone, zip, skedaddle, no ifs and or butts, a private citizen, and on a Friday before a long weekend.
Wonder how the emperor will explain this one? Wonder wonder wonder are the operative words on this one

But if someone bought it for you and mailed it up by Canada Post alone would it still be such a hideous price?
Yes, or very close to it.
I have in the past purchased from firms new to the ‘northern market’ who included air stage towns on their list of ‘free shipping anywhere in Canada”. Take Rona for instance, I purchased some bathroom hardware and some light bulbs. I received the free shipping on check out.
This is a great deal says I, so I place another order 3 days later. Sorry says the check out, you live in a community serviced by “Canada Post air stage”, and you have to pay their going rate, which was ridicules, so I cancel the order.
Canada Post and their air contractors do a killing over the holidays; large items from all the big Canadian retailers [especially CT] come in to the north in huge volumes
I believe the Liberals oversaw the switch of Canada Post to a crown corporation. It has to compete in a fair manner with courier companies under NAFTA, even its own courier company. This may be great in the larger populated areas, not up here though.
