That's crazy and very disappointing! In our post offices, yesterday when I went to mail the rest of my F8 out the lady told me it was a 20 cent surcharge and I said for what she said because it won't fit through the thingy they used. And I said funny since I've been sending out letter envelopes for almost 1 1/2 year and never had any problems. So I said can you show me the thing you use to measure the envelopes and put one through it so I can see for myself that it wont fit. So she did and she said whoa it does fit with no problems and refunded my 20 cents back, so as long as they fit through that gap it should go for 45 cents....But I don't know about the Canada post offices but I'm tired of being ripped off by people money is hard to come by these days and I've had enough...
Now when I send my finish block back I do add the 20 cents because the thread seems to make it more thicker and I don't want it returned.

Yesterday, she felt the envelopes and asked if they were documents. I said no, and was required to send them as small packets at $2.48 each! This is really getting expensive, and as a concequence, will be my last swap. Will try to mail next weeks blocks at a different post office and hope to be able to send them as letters again. We are planning a cross border shopping trip later this month, and I just might try sending them from the States instead of Canada. Will see how many I can finish before then.
