I went to the post office mail the ebay items I sold, insurance claim of my lost luggage together and a complain letter to Air Canada after work today. I am surprise the postal fee is quite expensive, especially when confirmation is required. In the modern fully computerized postal service, I wonder what is the incremental cost of assigning tracking number to each letter and parcel.

This will provide a real time online tracking system to let the end users pin point the where about of their parcel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
