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 does leak through. Craig, Vancouver - Original Message - From: Vaughn K.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but doesn't it mean that Santa has been sending a lot of mail to Canada, not that he lives in Canada? Your kids must be really great.

Re: [MOPO] New Mandatory Address Requirements for Canada
Thanks for sharing - be good if the Canadian Post Office let postal services around the world know about their latest requirements. Australia Post is just as bad. All international parcels have to have a sender ID sticker attached which has a specific number that IDs the sender based on the private info (such as a driver's licence). Don't use the sticker and the parcel can be delayed for a month from shipping while it sits somewhere here in Australia and they wait for it to blow up... and if it does, then gather together all the fragments of the 2" orange sticker, presumably.
