Postal Trick

Yes, but wouldn't the postage be short then - and you can bet that RM will have you paying that extra postage + an admin fee!

There's no such thing as a 'Canadian Zip Code'. We have Postal Codes. Zip codes are an American thing. (There aren't many things more offensive you can do to a Canadian than mix them up with an American!)

I doubt highly this would work, as the Canadian post office are notorious for returning items rather than correcting the mistake and sending them along. I paid £50 to send a large box home to my parents, and the box made it all the way to my parents' local post office before someone decided that the return address was not written in the correct place. They sent it all the way back to the UK for me to correct. It's not the first time they've done that to me.

i received reject international posts from time to time for a few pence short in stamp, wrong address, silly little things..

personally i will not bother to do such a roundtheworld trip for a sachet of cream, waste of time, energy and resources. it is easier just to walk into boots and ask.

Think of the carbon footprint that the free 'moisturiser' ( or whatever ) is going to make going on a round the world journey if hundreds of people try this. It's always nice to get a freebie but the knock on effect of this including the extra workload that this creates in the wrong postal office maybe outways the freebie ??
