Canada Post cancels parcel surcharge in Fort McMurray
Canada Post has withdrawn a $5 surcharge on parcels headed to Fort McMurray just a few hours after the extra fee was introduced Monday.
Business owners called the surcharge unfair.
Colleen Tatum has operated a small business selling truck accessories in Fort McMurray for 10 years. She relies on Canada Post because private couriers are too expensive, she said.
"We always have the problem of attracting and retaining staff and this $5 surcharge is just another thing that we're going to have to somehow find a way to absorb and still be able to offer comparable service to our customers as they would find in Edmonton."
