Shipping Labels (Canada Post)

SUMA partnered with Canada Post to offer a pre-paid label purchasing program designed to help reduce costs for shipping water samples. However, SUMA members may use these labels to ship any items—not just water samples—provided they meet Canada Post’s weight and size requirements.
Please note:
Canada Post have advised to send water samples using the 5 kg label, rather than the 1.36 kg label. Please check with your local postal outlet to determine which shipping option will ensure delivery within 48 hours of sample collection.
Xpresspost delivery typically takes 1-2 business days, depending on distance.

*Prices are effective January 15, 2024, include shipping and handling, and are subject to GST.
