Accepting a commercial mailing in Canada
Before accepting a commercial mailing, make sure:
- Each parcel has a unique shipping label affixed to it and listed on the Manifest. A completed Manifest may be submitted with a shipment containing more than one parcel.
- A Bill of Lading form is acting as a combination Manifest/shipping label for a single item.
- Items bear a full and complete “to” address and a Canadian return address.
- Item weight doesn’t exceed 30 kg.
- Each item’s shipping label delivery options, dimensions, and weight match the Order documents.
- Each item has an official Canada Post barcode that’s:
- Intact
- Legible (not covered up)
- Flat (not folded, crinkled, or creased)
- Ideally placed lengthwise on the item
- Barcodes aren’t folded around or over the side of the item.
