Rogers has started charging $25 for standard shipping when customers order a phone online.

But now found to be $9.

I'm not sure what the $25 is a big deal, have you tried shipping anything in Canada? You are paying $20 at least and if you want insurance for the phone value that's extra.

We should be upset at the $50 base plan which is double other country plans

If you have any other option I suggest you use it.
