Canada Post Lettermail Slot
Canada Post Lettermail Time
I called Canada Post and opened up a file on the package and they said to expect a call from the local Business manager (I think this was the title). Anyway, I am freaking out a bit. Its quite a large box (new bicycle) so there is hardly a chance it would get lost right?! Lettermail travels as Canada Post’s fastest service, upheld by the “First Class” postage rates below Lettermail postage includes the return-to-sender feature for undeliverable mail pieces if there is a valid return address on the outward face. When selling oldschool nintendo games, Canada post keeps claiming my envelopes (even non-bubble padded ones ) cannot be sent by small packet or with stamps because they are too thick in height 'for the slot'. The slot meaning this plexi-glass cutout of a mailslot/evelope sizer they have behind the desk.
