Re: [MOPO] New Mandatory Address Requirements for Canada

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

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.

NEW MANDATORY ADDRESS REQUIREMENTS FOR CANADA 1. Addressee full first and last name must be spelled out; using "Grandma" or "Uncle" is no longer acceptable. 2. Sender full first and last name must be spelled out; "Grandma", "Santa" or "Uncle" is no longer acceptable. 3. The complete address of the sender, including ZIP Code and country of origin, must be shown in the upper left hand corner of the address side of the package, envelope or card. 4. Addresses to recipients in Canada must be printed -- preferably in ink or typewritten -- using capital letters. 5. The last line of the address must show only the country name, written in full, and in capital letters. 6. When a Canadian postal delivery zone number is included in the address, mailing requirements allow that number appear as the last line of the address. 7. Complete and legible customs declarations, including complete sender and addressee information along with required import documentation, must be provided to specifically identify the contents of any package. General descriptions such as "gift" or "present" are no longer acceptable.   John ----- Original Message ----- From: Captain Bijou To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 3:04 PM Subject: [MOPO] New Mandatory Address Requirements for Canada 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??   Earl Blair CAPTAIN BIJOU www.captainbijou.com   Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
