Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

The US postal service and the Australian postal service also have certain
"issues" between them.... that come down to basically the US postal service
wants the Australian postal service to adopt their methods for everything
they do.
It's not unlike the way the US government wants the Austra! lian government to
do everything it wants as well. Surprisingly, the postal service, unlike the
government, has resisted some things already, but show signs of cracking.
And to those people who have asked (really!) - Australian dollars are not
the same as US dollars. We have different dead people on our bills,
including a woman or two, and they have a different value depending on the
exchange rate at the time.
I have heard, however, that Australia will be soon issuing the trillion
dollar note, with George W. Bush's head on it. We hope to use these to pay
back the massive trade deficit Australia now has. Apparently they are good
in America and several other non-disclosed countries.
I guess if the moderator can break the "no politics rule", then a

Subject: Re: [MOPO] New Mandatory Address Requirements for Canada
There are international postal conventions to which virtually every
country with postal services belongs. If the Candian service has introduced
any new addressing requirements they are, as Bob notes, essentially
variations of those already in use. The prospect that the postal service is
turning back truckloads for minor "noncompliance" seems somewhat unlikely.
Anyway, the paypal address info setup that many sellers seem to copy and
paste onto parcels works fine. If paying by mail buyers should include their
own label.
Return addresses though have to be as clear as the recipient's. So there
is an issue related to legibility of! that - make sure it's complete or else
that will result in a rejection of receipt. And that's the same for the US
and other countries now.
Starting and since late Fall the US and Canadian services have been a
loggerheads and I'm not sure who is to "blame", over where the US will
deliver parcel post in Canada - there was a change from Winnipeg, Calgary
and Vancouver Customs depots to Vancouver only for all of western Canada, so
there has been a long backlog - first for Christmas; possibly now there is
no room for MORE parcels and there is a turnaround of trucks / other delay -
as FEWER Customs agents check many more parcels than before for, as Phil
states, contraband and explosives.
Going the other way of course, there is the interdiction of homemade
foodstuffs such as cookies and fudge and horrors (!?) farm-drawn bottles of
maple syrup from Gramma that have not been preapproved (tasted by Gitmo
prisoners?).
Still, the mail d! oes leak through.

Are all MoPOers aware of the recently instituted mandatory addressing
requirements on all mail sent to Canada??
A worker at my local post office gave me a inter-office bulletin
outlining the new requirements, which begins with the following paragraph:
"Canada has instituted mandatory addressing requirements on all
incoming mail. Canada is refusing all mail that does not conform to the new
requirements and has been returning truckloads to us every day."
I've had two packages to Canada recently returned for no apparent
reason. The culprit must have been the way the labels were addressed. Any
other MoPoers have this experience recently??
