| When i go to check out the shipping prices in my store i notice that the shipping
comes to the flat rate parcel. I know i set it as a insta checkout for both lettermail
amd parcel but im not sure why it goes to parcel. Should i switch teh values
of the y and z axis dimensions to fix this or is there a better way?
Thanks in advance

Looking at it from a personal viewpoint, I'd much rather my minifigs were
shipped to me in a small padded envelope and not lettermail. Those sorting machines
that get fed these parcels can be quite harsh on the small packets, even though
the postal service technically shouldn't be using them to sort the small
packet mail.
I would much rather my minifigs came without belt marks on them.  
Just my 2c worth.

Small padded envelope ships via Lettermail in Canada

Should it, though? If it goes internationally or to the US from Canada, does
the receiving postal service consider it the same type of mail that Canada Post
classified it as? There's a lot more to this than just mail articles posted
within Canada.

OP ships to only Canada, I'm not sure what you're referring to In
Canada, we most definitely ship using Lettermail service (the largest % of orders
domestically for any seller of parts/figs is via Lettermail). You cannot export
merchandise via Lettermail from any country AFAIK; you must use small packet
services. The seller who posted only ships to Canada though which is what they're
asking about.

| It is shipped in padded envelopes that do qualify as Canada Post calls it oversized
lettermail.

What do you currently have setup for your Lettermail shipping dimensions (in
that shipping profile)? And do you have an example fig ID that you noticed it
triggered parcel?

| They are set up as 7x2x10 with a padded restriction of 0.1x0.2x0.1. Practicly
all minifigures trigger the parcel shipping.

Ah the 7x2x10 - were you indenting for those to be in inches? I believe the shipping
profile operates in centimeters.
I tried and it worked fine for Lettermail.
