Why Canada Post?
With over 140 years of history, a delivery network that covers every address in the country, and seamless integration for international mailing, we’re the company you can trust to deliver.
Free Return of Undeliverable Mail
There are no extra costs for the return of undeliverable items when you use our International Premium Incentive or International Per Item Incentive service. We return all items directly to the sender when the outer cover of the envelope bears the sender's Canadian return address.
Easy Payment, Easy Process
We know that in a hectic business environment, ease of use and speed is paramount, which is why we’ve created a streamlined process for completing your order. We also made it easy for you to pay – you can do so from your account or have us bill you.
On-demand Pickup
Pickup is available for International Incentive Letter-post (Premium, Per Item and Standard) customers at no additional charge, in certain locations.
A Trusted Provider
Canada Post is consistently ranked as one of the most trusted brands in Canada, and there’s a reason – you can rely on us to get results. When you send mail with us you will receive reliable, secure delivery backed by impressive customer support. We have over 140 years of experience in connecting people, and we can bring that expertise to help you achieve your business needs.
Your Mail is Safe With Us
Subject to the Canada Post Act and regulations, nothing in the course of post is liable to demand, seizure, detention or retention. Also, because we have direct integration with other postal authorities no 3rd parties will handle your mail and there are no indirect routings, which can result in loss and delays.
