The "T" stands for the word "Taxe". ( That is a French word ) It would indicate that postage due needs to be collected.

Nice postage due marking. Never seen this one with the space for the postal person to write in the amount due. |

Well, I had not either. What also amazed me that they are still using this T thing - this is the first time I have seen one on a modern envelope. When I get an underpaid piece of mail the mailman leaves an envelope in which to leave him the amount due.

From a postal history standpoint, they are all seemingly alike.
All are sent wholly unpaid and without return address, so unable to return to sender.
Thus forwarded to the destination at double due the current (mid 2003) letter rate of 0.48 |

Did they want to save money, expecting the public to pay the postage..? But knowing the letter/bill was from Canadian Tire, why didn't they just return it to Canadian Tire head quarters..? Does not make a lot of sense. Quote:

These appear to be the RETURN envelopes for the customer to remit their payment. The customer returns a payment stub oriented properly with the window and their check inserted behind it. It would have been better is they used fully addressed return envelopes. |

John Becker is right ...postage due in Canada was always double the deficit...at one time the letter carrier would collect the postage due during his route...later on a post paid postcard would be dropped of with the request that the difference would be affixed in postage stamps and mailed in to CP....ast week I received a domestically posted post card with no stamp affixed and it got through the system...no wonder Canada Post is losing money. |
