Lettermail is accepted by the Canadian eIS hub CONFIRMED

[ecgt]

Just heard back from Luke Bradley, who is the Shipping & Operations Manager for eBay Canada. Luke confirmed via email that the Canadian eIS hub will accept Lettermail shipments.

See attached screenshot.

Thanks. No I don't watch CBC. 

I have a similar dumpster fire in my garden. It cost me about $300 in water and fertilizer to grow $100 dollars worth of veggies this year...

Is that the sequel to Northern Exposure?

I was a Maggie O connell guy, not a Shelley guy.. 

Then again the moose lumbering down the street in the intro was also hot...

Hi. Thank you.  Didn't you say in another thread recently you haven't sent 30 eBay items out this year? 

I thought you opted out of EIS?  So this is just about the past service...

"so for me, "lettermail "is still very much alive!...and will be utilized by me until I stop sending items that fit within its guidelines!!!"

   I don't know how long you can count on a service of 500 grams with 5 days a week delivery. I hope you have time. Worse case scenario for you is Exp Lite which isn't too bad if you can sell in lots in the new limit which is said to be 250 grams. There is talk about reducing delivery to 2 or 3 week days but I doubt that would be a problem for you unless you were doing the Lettermail-EIS Mambo.

Letter Mail Delivery Standards: Canada Post will introduce flexibilities to reflect today’s lower volumes. The average household receives just two letters per week, yet operations remain designed for far higher volumes. By adjusting standards so that non-urgent mail can move by ground instead of air, the corporation will save more than $20 million per year.

Hi. Thank you for the big bunch of questions. I've answered all of them in today's general reply. You may need to click the links to know lettermail doesn't have to "go anywhere" but it does have to change. Whether that means raising the price as you say, or adopting other changes rendering it unsuitable  like reducing delivery frequency being discussed that remains to be seen. 

I perceived the thread topic "Lettermail is accepted by the Canadian eIS hub CONFIRMED" to be an endorsement for the use of domestic lettermail in conjuction with EIS. 

To be sure if you promote a business model that uses lettermail in conjuction with EIS (the thread topic) it would be great if you share your success and buyer experiences with respect to their cost and delivery times. Unless you use EIS I don't think this is possible.

Are you currently using domestic lettermail in conjuction with EIS? 

As an added note:  I wish I had the crystal ball lettermailers who say "I can use it forever" seem to have.

If I'd had a crystal ball like that I'd have predicted the demise of the de minimis. 

Thanks for the questions. I took some time to make sure you got the answers.

Yes. I assumed that was obvious based on my first reply in this thread where I provided a detailed breakdown of the dates associated with sending my Lettermail shipment to the eIS hub in Mississauga lol.

The item was successfully delivered to the buyer in California today.
