3.2 Grouping <strong>Mail</strong> Items<br />
All items in a mailing must be part of a grouping. All groupings (except Residue) must have a minimum of eight<br />
(8) items for Addressed Admail mailings or a minimum of six (6) items for Publications <strong>Mail</strong> mailings. If this<br />
minimum requirement is not met, the items are consolidated to the next level (see Section 3.2.1 "Levels of<br />
Groupings").<br />
Grouped mail items must meet the consolidation requirements set out in Canada Post’s National <strong><strong>Presort</strong>ation</strong><br />
Schematic (NPS).<br />
3.2.1 LEVELS OF GROUPINGS<br />
There are four (4) allowable types of groupings:<br />
1. NPS Level 1 – Delivery Facility (DF)<br />
2. NPS Level 3 – Distribution Centre Facility (DCF)<br />
3. NPS Level 4 – Forward Consolidation Point (FCP)<br />
4. Residue.<br />
You have to group together mail items that have a common destination <strong>and</strong>/or sortation. For example:<br />
• group all items delivered from the same postal station or letter carrier depot (a DF grouping)<br />
• group all items delivered in the same area, such as a city <strong>and</strong> surrounding area (a DCF grouping)<br />
• group all items delivered in the same province (an FCP grouping)<br />
• place all remaining items into a Residue grouping.<br />
You begin by separating mail items by their province or district of destination (see Figure 9).<br />
