The Canada Post shipping options available in the ProductCart control panel don't correspond with the services available from Canada Post. We've called Canada Post to see if this is something that they control and they said that it's likely a ProductCart issue.

Currently, our control panel shows these options:
Canada Post Small Packets Air US
Canada Post Expedited
Canada Post Expedited Saturday
Canada Post Xpresspost
Canada Post Priority Courier
Canada Post Air US
Canada Post Xpresspost US
Canada Post Puropak US
Canada Post Puroloator US
Canada Post Surface International
Canada Post Air International
Canada Post Puroloator International
Canada Post Small Packets Surface US
Canada Post Expedited Commercial US
Canada Post Small Packets Surface International
Canada Post Small Packets Air International
Canada Post Xpresspost International
Canada Post Puropak International
Canada Post Regular
Canada Post Xpresspost Evening
Canada Post Xpresspost Saturday
Canada Post Surface US

According to Canada Post, they only offer these services:
To Canada:
Priority Courier
Xpresspost
Expedited
Regular

To USA:
Priority Worldwide USA
Xpresspost USA
Expedited US Business Contract
Small Packets Air
Smal Packets Surface

International:
Priority Worldwide International
XpressPost International
Air Parcel
Surface Parcel
Small Packets Air
Small Packets Surface

Does anyone have experience with this issue?

I have used the Canada Post shipping module since PC v2.76 and the shipping options do correspond correctly.

Priority Courier is the fifth one down in your list

ExpressPost is the fourth

Expedited is the second

Regular is the fourth from the bottom.

Under Add and View Shipping services you should see a link to Canada Post. Clicking that drops down a screen that allows you to edit Canada Post Shipping Services. Clicking that will present you with the list you have. Only select the options you want. Any others will be disregarded so it's really not that important if the names don't appear to be the same. You will find it makes more sense once you get into the Select Shipping Services.

One thing that is odd though that needs to be corrected in the language file is when you click the edit Canada Post shipping Settings the page title actually states Edit USPS Shipping Services when you are directed to the settings page.

Unless I'm not understanding correctly there does not appear to be any difference in the names, other than Canada Post leads in on each one. ie Canada Post Expedited as opposed to Expedited.

I hope that helps.
