After reading Ilse Jakelski's letter in the
Dec. 10 issue, I asked myself, how could two citizens from the
same town using the services at Canada Post have such a
different experience?
Here is my story. I recently found a traffic
ticket issued to me in the City of Barrie last July, and was in
quite a hurry to pay it to avoid any further costs. That same
day I wrote a cheque for the amount of the ticket plus a $10
late fee. I hastily mailed it. To my surprise and disbelief,
Canada Post returned my envelope addressed to the Corporation
of the City of Barrie because I owed one cent in postage. One
lousy cent has now cost me $20.
Humbug.
