I think the Canadian Postal service has photocopied the operations page from the HMRC which may explain my Post Office's marked downgrade in service.

@kerrislravenhill I sometimes feel my address has been added to some sort of "list". All throughout 2019 & 2020 any package/large letter I sent containing PMs got opened and threatened with distruction because it controvened some bullshit postage rule. I got stung with fines and having to pay returned postage for some stuff they destroyed and sent to their Ireland main depot.
You wouldn't believe the customs forms I have to fill in now. There's more paper work and weight stuck to the outside of the package, than is weight inside. Hahahhaha
CRAs intervention is to open first, miscatagorize the item, apply an inappropriate tax, charge $10 for opening the package and apply a VAT tax on the $10 opening charge and add it to the bill that i must pay before receiving the package that is sealed in a heavy plastic bag with paperwork taped all over it. Filling the paperwork and expect 8 weeks minimum wait of any returned charges.
Well i don't feel so bad now, knowing that it's not just me getting screwed over. Lol
