As someone who runs a music mail-order company I was reeling from the recent
news that the cost of mailing a single CD to the States was about to rocket
from $1.70 to $5.60 (and $3.40 to about $6 for international). This was to
happen under a new rule that said that even though a CD could fit into a
letter-sized bubble mailer, a ³letter² could only contain paper documents
and not CDs, DVDs, or anything that a burly postal worker couldn¹t fold four
times.
Apparently there was such a wave of protest that Canada Post decided to pull
the whole thing.
The price isn¹t changing. I almost cried when I heard this news yesterday.

P.S. Apologies if someone¹s already addressed this...I get the digest....
