Welcome to the world of Canada Post!!! If you want a confirmation of any shape or form, you have to ship Insured. If you want insured, you have to pay a minimum of $9. And then of course, the confirmation costs extra. The ironic thing for me is that I can ship a parcel to anywhere in the U.S. for less than I can ship a parcel across Canada most times. Figure that one out. Makes for expensive trading at times all right!!
