P77 thanks for the offer, put on the bacon and chill the beer.
Pilder - describing the next step can't be done without several paragraphs of background info but..... It's basically "to press the postal inspector (he's in another city,shorthanded and extremely busy) to proceed with the investigation based on my evidence and hope that they see fit to conclude with charges. The "courier" thinks they're protected by some wiggle room in the letter of the law but they're not. They claimed to have called a lawyer with Canada Post (but don't know his name...) and he said they are ok based on what they told him but advised them t get the law firms (all clients too) to sign a declaration that they will not violate the law (that regulates the courier industry!).No lawyer in their right mind would expose the firm to this. They have a bulk courier system where the courier assumes the firms carry "exempt" items (where $8 is ok for any amount) unless they're "told" otherwise to bill $2.88 per item for "non exempt" items. The honesty policy would never work in this business.
