Save on Shipping Costs for Business or
Personal Needs when Sending
Packages from Canada

Don’t lose money by not being inaccurate:
•
It’s easy to relax accuracy when there is pressure to meet time deadlines. Accuracy counts
when the wrong postage is being paid. Remember, saving money is the best practice. The
size of the box or package being sent needs to be right every time. Also, when packages
are at a lower weight, it changes the cost dynamic. Another tip is to send packages as
media mail when possible will also likely have lower costs. Don’t forget that different
package standards may be different from country to country.
Use online mailing labels and purchasing packaging materials:
•
Where there is an alternative, purchasing labels online may cost less than going to the
shipping center. It is a valuable time-saving practice, so go online when possible.
Repurpose packaging when it is an option. This practice saves money by not purchasing
packaging so often, but it is great for the environment. Use money-saving payment
systems whenever it is possible.
