Mail Slot Canada Post
We use Canada Post to ship all of our orders. The Slot of DOOM can be sent Oversized letter mail and is the standard shipping option when purchasing. Oversized lettermail can take up to 30 days to arrive, tracking is unavailable for Oversized lettermail.
- Send mail and parcels within Canada and internationally. Use our online shipping tools and find everything you need to address, mail and track your letters and parcels.
- Draft proofing of this mail slot would be improved by strips of foam around the inside edge of each hinged panel, 2. Canada Post workers usually do not push the mail right through the double line of brushes, so defeating the purpose of cutting the through draft. I have added an advisory sticker to the outside panel.
If you are new to e-commerce, please take the time to inform yourself of the ins and outs of Canada Posts letter mail requirements to choose the right Slotbox for your company.
Canada Post Mail Slot Size
At 18.5 mm deep when folded, the Slotbox can meet the 20mm depth requirements of 'OTHER' (Non-Standard and Oversize) letter mail, but you are responsible to meet the length, width, weight and content requirements set out by Canada Post. All styles of the Slotboxes must be mailed in a standard paper envelope to qualify as regular post for Canada Post.
NO BUBBLE MAILERS REQUIRED!
When sending within Canada, if the item you are mailing an item not made of paper - ie: a necklace - it is considered 'Other (Non-standard/Oversize)' since it is not paper. It still qualifies as regular post (instead of the expensive parcel rate) but the box must be sent in a basic envelope and will be subject to a postage rate based on weight. 'Other' (Non-standard/Oversize) regular postal rates range from $1.94 - $5.47 based on weight up to 500g. Over 500g and it must be sent as a parcel.
