    Does it also apply to US or international shipments? And does it allow you to do US/International labels/shipping online?

    No, just Canada Post.

    Unless you aren't shipping beer, then it'd work.

    I'm confused given that I usually use Canada Post, for beer, within and outside of Canada. Why can't I use it for beer inside or outside of Canada (assuming I qualify to use the program)?

    indeed.

    now I'm just curious as to what Canada Post is doing with the box sent to me. if I read the hint correctly (and the correct hint), this was supposed to be out for delivery last Tuesday...?

    I have had a lot of issues with the CP website since they changed the layout but you should be able to do everything online including creating international labels at a discounted price.

    Obviously it will work for beer and that, but sending beer internationally is a huge risk that I would not bother taking.

    You don't get a free upgrade to expedited when shipping to the US, but the rates are definitely better with a business account than without.

    Hope you like hops :wink: A couple of us opened a Peqeuno at 4W a few days ago and it's tasting amazing!
