Canada Post Shipping Size Error – please help!

[pmosteko]

Hi there — the Shopify agent I spoke to couldn't figure this out, and I'm at a standstill as a result. Hoping someone here can figure out this very simple issue. I'm shipping a small ornament in a box that's 10.16cm x 10.16cm x 10.16cm. The weight is 0.08kg. When I go to create the label, I get two seemingly contradictory errors:

"Canada Post: Use a package larger than 14 x 9 cm to buy a Canada Post label"

"Canada Post: Use a package larger than 21 x 14 cm to buy a Canada Post label"

I don't understand this, as that's not the size package I need, and increases the shipping cost beyond what the customer paid. I haven't said that the product is larger than 10cm in the product details, as it's not. If I change the size to 14x9cm as they're asking, the cost increases and I have to pay that difference, as the customer was charged less.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello @pmosteko ,

It seems that there is a limitation from Canada Post. Please check here

Doesn't seem to add up still, as I went in to Canada Post's website and printed the labels manually — as I've done before — at 10.16cm all around, and it worked. The other issue here is that Shopify is calculating shipping at checkout for ~$8 CAD, then when it forces me to increase the size of the box for the label, it charges me ~$10 CAD, causing me to lose money. There seems to be a discrepancy between Shopify and Canada Post in this sense. I can't be the only person shipping boxes at 10.16cm (or 4 inches), can I?
