NCOA stands for National Change of Address and is a special database that has the most up-to-date address info for people across Canada. We use this to check audience lists provided to us to ensure that addresses are correct and that people still live in the locations you are providing. This also removes people that may be deceased or moved out of your trade area.
We use this to remove bad names & addresses or to correct poorly formatted addresses to ensure delivery.
We get it! Online ordering might not be your thing. We’re always available to help during the business day.
We do our best to respond to all business support issues within 1-business day. Usually, we’re even quicker.
PostNow does not accept pre-printed mail pieces* for mailing services. However, there are companies that specialize in handling pre-printed items, such as One To One Mailing in Edmonton or other direct mail houses across Canada. Visit One To One Mailing for more information.
If you’ve already printed your mailers, the fees for preparing and mailing them will depend on the direct mail company you choose to work with. These costs can vary based on factors like the type of material and project scope. For a list of options, check out the Canada Post Partner Directory.
For DIY enthusiasts, Canada Post’s online tools, such as Precision Targeter, can help you plan and execute a direct mail campaign. These tools allow you to target specific neighborhoods, demographics, and more.
*When it comes to special items like calendars, magnets, or other unique materials, PostNow evaluates these projects on a case-by-case basis. Contact us to discuss the specifics of your project.

You can send direct mail campaigns to essentially any household or business address in Canada. Since we have access to all the addresses that Canada Post can deliver to, the only people that can not be targeted are those that have added themselves to the “Do Not Mail” list for Canada Post.
You can target by individuals (with your own data only), or you can target by full postal code (ie. T6B 2M2) or by Neighbourhood Walk (average 300-500 households).
