<strong>Mail</strong> <strong>Preparation</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong><strong>Presort</strong>ation</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> – <strong>NDG</strong> <strong>Presort</strong><br />
4.1 Deposit Location Types<br />
Canada Post is enhancing mail deposit requirements. These changes are designed to ensure that our facilities are<br />
properly equipped to h<strong>and</strong>le your mail efficiently <strong>and</strong> avoid unnecessary delays. Daily maximum volumes of mail<br />
have been implemented for certain types of deposit locations.<br />
• Receipt Verification Units (RVUs) - Large mail processing facilities designed for commercial mailers.<br />
• Commercial Deposit Centres (CDCs) - Delivery facilities that have been specifically engineered <strong>and</strong><br />
equipped to accept, verify, <strong>and</strong> process commercial mailings.<br />
• Corporate Post Offices - These locations are usually managed directly by Canada Post.<br />
• Delivery Facilities - Typically found in urban settings where letter carriers receive <strong>and</strong> sort mail before<br />
beginning delivery to their route. These facilities do not serve the general public.<br />
Section 4.2 lists the different location types <strong>and</strong> maximum volume each location is designed to h<strong>and</strong>le. A full list<br />
of deposit locations across Canada can be found at canadapost.ca/depositlocations.<br />
