Canada Post has announced today that their regular stamp prices will increase from $0.63 to a whopping  $1 per stamp, or 85 cents per stamp in a booklet or coil. The Permanent “P” stamps will be able to be used still but Canada Post are not going to be selling P Stamps anymore. Instead, the stamps will have the price listed on them again.

On March 31st, 2014 Canada Post plans to launch a tiered stamp pricing structure:

• New prices will be launched for the customers that buy stamps in booklets and coils. The price per stamp will be $0.85
• Business that use postage meters will pay discounted rate of $0.75 per stamp
• Mailers who prepare mail in a way that reduces processing costs (incentive lettermail) will benefit from prices lower than $0.75 per stamp
• Single stamps will cost a whopping $1 each!!

So stock up on stamps while you still can! The Permanent stamps currently being sold will still be usable when the price increases. Stop in at Costco and purchase bulk amounts! Costco is selling permanent stamps for $0.60 each ($59.99 for 100 stamps).

See page 8 here to read about Canada Post’s new pricing plan in further detail.

Canada Post also plans to eliminate their door-to-door delivery service. How messed up is that? Hey! Let’s increase our prices and reduce our services? I hear bankruptcy in their future, folks. Canada Post will start to phase out home delivery as part of their tiered structure. They will be converting their services to community mailboxes (wouldn’t surprise me if these come with  monthly fee). This will surely have a negative impact on their company, and not to mention the thousands of jobs lost when this is set in place.

I am disappointed with Canada Post as you can tell! What is your opinion?
