.....

Where do I buy a stamp for a letter, how do I know how much it will cost, where do I post it.

Told you it was silly, but I havent seen anything that looks like a post office or a post box.





Sit back and waits for the comic replies I know will come

srah

btw google is your friend

Canada post (either the website or visiting a post office) will provide all your answers.

Yeah, really helpful response.


To the OP, Canada Post has "post offices" all over the place. You'll just need to find your nearest. Some supermarkets have them too- my nearest Sobeys has a fully functioning Canada Post "office".

Miss Clinique

Web site tells me how much it costs doesnt tell me where I can find a place to buy them or where I can post them.

Shopper's Drug Mart stores often include a post office.

Canada Post is inside Sobeys here and we have one inside 'The Brick' building.

Miss Clinique

Thank you so much. For your help. I will look in supermarket across the road.

Miss Clinique

Got a shopper drug mart across the road too. Will try there.

Thanks for you help.

Canada Post find a post office: http://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/ap...execution=e2s1

Canada Post website (in the personal bit) has a tab that says "FIND A POST OFFICE"

In addition, many convenience stores, greeting card shops, plus shoppers drug mart will sell you books of stamps, just like in the UK.


Also, if you are lucky enough to still have a real door to door mail service in your area you can just do what we do, leave the outgoing mail in the mailbox with some change in a baggy, and have the mail man take care of the rest (change and reciept left the next day) Ill miss that when we inevitably get switched to a communal central box

Yup agree with all the above - the stores that have a po inside will have the logo on the door or window somewhere.

Take in your letter, buy a stamp and then give them your letter to post!

Not as stupid a question as you may think - out here in the sticks we have the mail boxes at the end of the drive that the postie delivers twice a week to and puts the red flag up to show we have mail. In the same vein if we want to post something we leave it in the mailbox and said postie will take it when he/she delivers the mail

Miss Clinique

I just found that page - thanks

Looks like there is one in shoppers drug mart over the road.

Also of you want to post larger things within Canada think about sending them by Greyhound - way cheaper and Greyhound have outlets in loads of stores etc

Miss Clinique

Thanks for all you help.

Off to post my letter
