A warning for anyone using the old sellonline profile site for shipping rates. Canada Post, for no reason, has changed settings on their end.

Before, when you selected "Add Insurance" under General Information and entered say, $100, for the insurance activation amount, Canada Post would simply add insurance for orders over 100. It would generate shipping rates for small packet air, Tracked Packet, Expedited, Xpresspost, Priority, and add insurance WHERE APPLICABLE.

So if a customer had a $200 order, it would generate rates for Small Packet Air (no insurance), Tracked Packet (maxed out insurance at $100), and add the extra ~2.25 for the Expedited, Xpresspost and Priority(maxed out insurance at $200) quotes for the extra insurance.


Now, for at least the past 2ish weeks: It seems like Canada Post will not generate rates for any service that it cannot fully insure, dropping them from any generated quotes.

For example, an order valued at $300, Canada Post will no longer display rates for Small Packet Air, Tracked Packet nor Priority, and only return rates for Expedited and Xpresspost since they're the only insurable services at $300.

I haven't tested the upper end of this, Canada Post's maximum insurance is $1000 with Xpresspost to the USA and Internationally, so maybe it'll return no shipping rates at all for large value orders...
