Shipping Labels (Canada Post)
SUMA initially partnered with Canada Post to offer a pre-paid label purchasing program aimed at reducing the cost of regulatory changes for shipping water samples. However, SUMA members may use these labels to ship any items—not just water samples—as long as they meet the weight and size limits set by Canada Post.
Please note:
Canada Post changed their calculation of dimensional weight. Local postal outlets suggest that water samples be sent using the 5 kg label rather than the 1.36 kg size previously used. Check with your local postal outlet to determine which service will ensure 48-hour delivery from time of sample collection.
- Xpresspost typically takes 1-2 business days, depending on distance.
Member Advantages
- Guaranteed delivery with tracking capability in the event of loss.
- Price at time of purchase remains fixed, not affected by Canada Post increases.

- Quick order processing from SUMA office.
