In June of 1864 the use of British Columbia stamps by the express companies was made compulsory. Re-rated in British Columbia at 3d, they paid the Colonial postage of 6d or 10¢. The express label showed that a $1.00 charge from the interior had been paid. The U.S. 10¢ paid the reduced rate (as of July 1, 1864) to Canada West.
