**International Letters And Parcels Shipped via Canada Post  
**

****The ability of Canada Post international deliveries varies by destination country and whether the shipment is letters or parcels. To some destinations:

- Canada Post can only accept letters (referred to as partial service)
- and to others services has been totally stopped (suspended service)

For all destinations where service, Canada Post is alerting that there may be significant delays. Like commercial carriers, signatures upon delivery are no longer guaranteed. In addition, the money back guarantees for Canada Post International premium services has been suspended. These Canada Post priority international service options include:

****

**Canada Post Shipping to the US**

Canada Post shipping the US - for both mail and parcels continue although the delivery times and secure a signature upon delivery has been impacted. Online sellers are increasingly looking to ship directly with the USPS via cross border solutions but this requires significant volume.

****

**Canada Post International Packet Services: Lowest Cost**

Individuals depend on Canada post for low cost shipping of small parcels. Canada Post "international packet" services provide a low cost solutions for shipping under 4 kg to most international destinations.

### The "rest of the world" is no longer the "rest of the world"

For many Canadian companies, international means shipping cross border to the USA and then grouping all others as "rest of world." At Jet Worldwide, we believe it is best for Canadian retailers to target specific countries or regions. Doing so increases the likelihood of success. In other words, the best way to go global is to focus on local markets.

### Canadian Sellers Partnering with Local Domestic Brands

A key element of establishing credibility in the online marketplace is to use trusted brands for delivery. Jet Worldwide's best in class shipping services connect Canadian sellers with known brands in the UK and European Union (DPD), Japan (Japan Post), and China (China Post).

### Jet is building direct shipping solutions to France, UK, European Union, Japan, China and all world's leading economies direct from Canada.

### Custom Import Processes

Diversifying from parcel post solutions requires that Canadian sellers become more familiar with import processes to the country of their customer.
