Flyer delivery falls under Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail. Prices were updated for all flyer mailings as of January 13th, 2025.
This is unaddressed ad mail and would cost $0.197 per piece, including transportation costs from Canada Post if it is under 6 x 12″ with a maximum thickness of 1 inch and a weight of <50g. Larger flyers, including magazine-style flyers like the Ikea Idea Books, are subject to “Oversized Neighbourhood Mail” rates.
Here’s how the standard $0.197 rate breaks down:
A “Specified Delivery Start Date” can be added as a campaign option for an extra $0.01 / per piece. This guarantees that your flyer will not be delivered before a set date and is a great way to ensure you time your flyers for a specific sale/promotion.

While you can send a 4×6″ postcard with Neighbourhood Mail, which will be the cheapest to produce, it does not offer the best value.
Larger postcards will grab more attention and drive more campaign engagement, making them generate more ROI. We find the best size to send is a 5.5×8.5″ postcard due to its production costs being highly efficient and its impact being strong in a pile of flyers.
