Need some help. I am very familiar with shipping packages that are under 2.0 cm in thickness, as I ship about 8-10 packages a month (ie. hockey cards) and have done so for the past decade. I never ship over 2 cm. So I went on the CP website and used their Find A Rate page and I am baffled. These are the specifics:

Package dimensions: 23cm x 23cm x 5.5cm, 99 grams (0.099kg).

Results: (I live in Ottawa)

FOR CANADA Regular Parcel - 7 business daysw/ delviery confirmation (destination: Victoria, BC or Vancouber BC)
Regular price $14.33
Fuel Surcharge $1.58
Tax $0.80
Total $16.71
No Coverage!

FOR USA Tracked Packet - 6 business daysw/ delivery confirmation (destination: California)
Regular price $13.06
Fuel Surcharge $1.01
Total $14.07
Coverage up to $100

How can this be, does not make sense? I might have made a mistake somewhere, but I do not think I did.

Additionally, I really do not even want delivery confirmation. But I cannot find this service for within Canada, they all have it included. But for the USA it is available as an option. So I would probably use this sevice....

FOR USA Small Packet - USA Air (to California)
Regular price $7.18
Total $7.18

Like I said, any help from someone who ships larger packages regularly would be appreciated. Should I be using another company like UPS or Purolator within Canada?
