Canada Post Library Materials Shipping Tool Updates New Method of Payment for Customers using Postage Meters In August, Parcel Services customers using meters as a method of payment for their parcels were advised that on January 11, 2016, Canada Post and meter vendors would introduce Supplier Account (previously communicated as Third-Party Account). This is a new way to pay for your parcels when using the Electronic Shipping Tools (EST), Library Shipping Tool or other approved electronic shipping platforms. On January 11, 2016, meter will no longer be an accepted method of payment option when using manual order documents (manifests or bills of lading). If you are using manual shipping documents, we encourage you to switch to an automated shipping platform. Please refer to the Supplier Account handout for more information. Library Materials Rate Update Canada Post continues to support Canadian libraries by providing reduced postal rates for mailing library materials by libraries to their users and other libraries. On January 11, 2016, Canada Post will increase library materials rates by a weighted average of 5 per cent. Even with the increase, the rates continue to be substantially lower than our most discounted commercial parcel rates. A 1.28-kg package mailed at the library materials rate today costs $1.12 to cover sending and returning the materials; this will increase to $1.18 in January 2016. Without the library materials rate, the same service would cost approximately $23.00 if mailed at a post office. For more information please click here. Partnership Journal Turns 10: It's About Time!
