Am I able to create the account and have someone drop off at Canada Post on my behalf? Can I just pay some difference or something over the 5kg limit?

Basically how can I make the most of this, shopping some of my belongings out to bc :)
It doesn't matter who drops off at the post office. Since you would have already created a shipping label and printed it at home all the counter person does is accept it and scan it.

Easiest thing would be for you to make up a bunch of 5kg parcels in advance. Then have a family member create an account and print one label every Tuesday.

Okay thanks. Having a hiccup creating account on mobile, but it includes the default $100 insurance right? What about tracking?

From one of my posts in last year's thread: http://forums.redflagdeals.com/send-pac ... k-2128367/
"Our last week parcel was 20 lbs and this weeks was 18 lbs. No charge for either on the receipt beside the label print out. Both say 'Total Transaction Amount= $0.00 CAD'"

Yes, Xpresspost comes with both tracking and $100 liability coverage.

Being a Small Business / VentureOne account holder always gives you free tracking and $100 insurance, even for the basic "Business Expedited " service.

Also I always select Do Not Safe Drop, so they don't just dump the package at the door, leaving it vulnerable to porch pirates. That's a free option.

I remember hearing about someone who did an entire move by mailing everything. Don't know how a sofa would fit in a mail slot though.

Shame on the posters shipping 18kg and abusing this promo. Rfd abuse results in deals like this not happening again.

18 lbs, not kg, if you're referring to my post.

I was waiting on this promo to ship my Denon AVR in for RMA to local depot to avoid the hour drive in traffic and gas money. I just checked the website and its 20.7 lbs (hoping some of that is accessories, I should double check it myself). I was really assuming a 10kg limit so sucks that its 5kg. But I'm hopeful that if it doesn't prevent me from filling out the shipping label, it'll be good to go.

HYPE. Been waiting all year for this deal... and quite possibly once of the best deals of the year IMO.
