Requirements for Neighbourhood mail:
Canada Post adds a Neighbourhood Mail transportation fee to all campaigns not inducted into the exact depot(s) closest to your delivery neighbourhoods.
In other words, unless you are willing to drive your campaign mail pieces to a specific dropoff depot or depots for larger campaigns, you are covering the cost for Canada Post to distribute your campaign to the appropriate depots for final sorting/delivery.
This transportation fee is often why you will see a published Neighbourhood Mail rate of $0.187 / piece, but the final price is $0.20 when working with a mail house or Canada Post directly.
At PostNow we include the transportation fee in all campaigns automatically.
Prices for a Direct Mail audience start at “free” and increase based on the dataset being accessed. Standard options for each mail type are listed below. More advanced data sets can be accessed from 3rd party providers like Environics.
