Googled it and saw Oatly was a Swedish brand. This should absolutely be illegal.

Edit: Big lol, people here thinks the 48pt CANADIAN text on the package innocent. The A/B test worked well for them I guess.

Canadian-Owned Businesses 🏢🍁 I built a flat-rate Canada Post label service out of Hamilton so small Canadian sellers can ship for less

234 Upvotes

Thank you to the amazing mod team of r/BuyCanadian for allowing me to showcase my service here!

I'm Tye. I run a small controller repair business in Hamilton, and for years shipping was the thing that ate my margins. A $30 repair with a $20 label going out to BC or the Maritimes just doesn't work. Over the last year or so I shipped 200+ parcels on discounted Canada Post labels through a partner, and recently I started reselling those same labels to other people. That's Waybill.

They're real Canada Post labels with real tracking. You drop off at any post office or book a pickup. The price is flat anywhere in Canada, so a box to Iqaluit costs the same as one across town. Here's what it costs:

| Weight | Expedited | Xpresspost | Priority |

| 1 kg | $6 | $8 | $10 |

| 2 kg | $7 | $9 | $11 |

| 5 kg | $10 | $12 | $14 |

| 10 kg | $24 | $26 | $28 |

| 20 kg | $44 | $46 | $48 |

It's +$2 for each extra kg in between. There are no fuel surcharges, no subscription and no minimums. You top up a balance and buy labels from it, and that balance never expires.

Why I think it fits here: most of the cheap shipping tools out there are built for US sellers, and a lot of Canadian makers and small shops end up either eating shipping costs or losing customers who live outside the big cities. Keeping parcels on Canada Post and making it cheaper to sell to every province and territory felt like the right thing to build.

A few honest limitations: it's domestic only, there are no Shopify/Etsy/eBay integrations yet (there's an API if you're technical), and it only works on a computer right now, not your phone.

The link to the site is in my Reddit bio. I'm around in the comments if you have questions, including the skeptical ones.

Questions ❓🤔 Book outlet - poor customer service

5 Upvotes

I was buying from bookoutlet since it’s Canadian website. I had little to no issues in my first two orders but I last ordered in mid September and several of the twelve books I ordered were in horrible condition.

has anyone reached out to them and got quick reaponses? It’s been 3 weeks and I still haven’t heard back and I just followed up for a third time. Their website says it’s 24 to 48 hours response time…

Fortunately, this cabinet is still going strong and will last for a few more decades.
