BUNDLING
A bundle is a number of mail items secured together, including inserts and samples.
All bundles must contain equal quantities (e.g.: bundles of 25, 50, 100), except the last bundle of a mailing for each Delivery Facility which may be smaller and is referred as the Residue bundle. Neighbourhood Mail items, including inserts and samples, must be bundled securely to prevent from breaking open during handling or while in transit to the delivery facility responsible for delivery.

For more information please consult the customer guide:
Smartmail Marketing Customer Guide

The maximum weight of the container with enclosed bundles cannot exceed 22.7 kg (50 lbs). When using Customer-supplied containers the automatically prepared labels generated by this Order entry tool must be affixed to each container.

Bundles are to be enclosed in a suitable container. Containers for Neighbourhood Mail mailings generally include bags or boxes. For help in determining if your container is suitable please contact a Canada Post representative at 1-800-260-7678.

This represents the number of containers you will drop-off based on the number of Items per bundle and the number of bundles per container that you have identified. This will determine the quantity of container labels that will be automatically generated for this mailing.

The date displayed is the date when you will leave your mail either directly at the Delivery Installation in question or at the Postal Delivery Outlet (Deposit Location) chosen.

This date is calculated automatically by the application and is based on a combination of the customer's selected Deposit Date and Canada Post's service standard. This date indicates the latest date when the delivery of your mailing can begin, to the end customers or recipients of this mailing.

When an alternative drop-off location is selected by the Customer, transportation fees will apply to each Item at the price indicated on the Neighbourhood Mail price sheet. When the drop-off location selected is the pre-determined drop-off location or does not require Transportation by Canada Post to the Postal delivery outlet, then no Transportation Fee will apply.
