What happened to CanadaPost Shopper Comparison?

Is it pebcak or does canadapost.ca/shopper no longer exist?

google's got nothing but old links which give me 404 errors? I always thought they did a good job with this tool? Just down for maintenance?

Possibly because they no longer do Priority shipping, so there is no guaranteed next day before 12pm. Could be down while they update their info.

Yeah I noticed that too. Hope they bring it back up soon. It was a good alternative tool.

There were six:
  1. pricecanada
  2. allshopping
  3. shopbot
  4. shop to it
  5. pricedx
  6. canadapost.ca/shopper
and then 1 and 6 are gone.

I hope this helps!

+1. Use it all the time. Wish RFD did not censor it and instead partnered with them or something. They have uselss forums but great tools.

Unfortunately, dealgenius is gone too?! Now it's being forwarded to some flyertown.ca site. Do we have any alternative site with historical pricing charts?

Dealgenius was so rad, there doesn't seem to be a good replacement.
