I was shocked too. They make it sound like they simplified things with "international priority mail" and "international first class", but all it was was a way to increase rates. Sad

To the credit of USPS, I felt that they were significantly cheaper than Canadian, British, or French post office systems for an overall equal or higher quality of service. Sometimes I found that letters or parcels sent from USA to France had cost less than it would cost from France to France to ship. But the "correction" is quite brutal...

Canada Post is expensive. They need it that way to
support their bloated bureaucracy.
