Canada Post has its own system for determining how items will be packed in order to obtain shipping rates. For this reason, their system requires that we send a list of items that are in the order, along with their quantities, weights, and dimensions. Canada Post then uses that information to determine shipping rates.

There are many settings in your Sell Online shipping profile that you can adjust to control how rates are returned. To access your Sell Online shipping profile, see the information in the email you received from Canada Post that contained your CPC ID.
