I was able to select use EST online (which it said would be discontinued in 2020). It was a horrible process that tool and was more expensive. It all works for me today (just now).

I regularly use Snap Ship for sending packages to family out West without incident. Tried three browsers, cookie/cache clear, and like you, eventually went back to the older EST Online (which they're pushing us away from as it'll be phased out) and EST Online worked fine. Good news to hear that it was working for you again a different time, later.

Just a note that unfortunately (in previous times with this "free shipping Tuesday" promotion), EST Online is not compatible with the same promo codes supported by Snap Ship for this promotion (it doesn't even recognize them as valid), so if this issue arises again, it's not an option to switch back to EST Online if one wants to get that discount. We'll see how it goes on this coming Tuesday.

CP is downgrading free shipping Tuesday every year.

" The Canada Post Snap ShipTM tool and the unique promotional codes associated with this offer are not available to Solutions for Small Business customers who have a pre-existing parcel agreement with Canada Post."

Noobzilla wrote: ↑ I think that means it's not available if you have a contract with them - you negotiated a lower rate with the promise of shipping a minimum number of parcels per year.
