Direct Mail Database Software: Solving the Data Problem
Having data from multiple sources is one of the biggest headaches in direct mail management. Different formats, duplicate records, and inconsistent entries make it hard to run clean, cost-effective campaigns.
Common problems with multi-source data:
- Duplicate entries that inflate campaign costs
- Difficulty evaluating the performance of individual campaigns
- Problems extracting usable data during campaign planning
- Higher error rates from manual data handling
- Increased costs from managing multiple IT platforms
PostGrid’s direct mail data management addresses all of this:
- Consolidates multiple data sources into one clean, unified source
- Removes duplicate records to save costs and reduce friction
- Improves your ability to qualify for postal discounts
- Full preparation and cleansing of data files to meet USPS address requirements
- De-duplication of records from your database
- Manages data capture and data entry
- Maximizes postal discounts through print, post, line haul, and consolidation
Use our Address Verification API alongside the platform to ensure every address in your list is accurate and deliverable before anything goes to print.

FAQs
Does Canada Post deliver parcels to your door?
Yes, for addresses that still receive door-to-door service and items that require a signature or are too large for a community mailbox compartment. However, roughly 75 per cent of Canadian addresses are already served by community mailboxes, and the remaining 25 per cent are being phased over in the coming years. Oversized parcels requiring a signature will still come to the door regardless of address type.
Does Canada Post deliver to apartments and condominiums?
Most apartments and condominiums have a group letterbox or Canada Post parcel locker unit in the building’s lobby or mailroom. Canada Post delivers to these communal areas rather than individual unit doors. For oversized parcels that do not fit in the parcel locker, the carrier will attempt door delivery to your unit; if no one is home, a Delivery Notice Card is left for post office pickup.
Will Canada Post still deliver to my door during the 2026 transition?
If you currently receive door delivery, nothing changes immediately. Canada Post will notify residents in writing well before any conversion affects their neighbourhood. The transition will be phased in over three to nine years, with most conversions expected within the first three to four years. You will receive advance notice before your address is affected.
What if I have a disability or mobility issue, will I still get home delivery?
Yes. Canada Post’s Delivery Accommodation Program provides continued home delivery for Canadians who face barriers to accessing a community mailbox due to functional limitations or health conditions. You need to apply and provide supporting documentation. Canada Post has also confirmed other accommodations are available, such as adjusting the height of a mailbox compartment or installing sliding trays. If you think you may qualify, it is advisable to contact Canada Post before a conversion reaches your neighbourhood.
What happens if I miss a Canada Post delivery?
Canada Post will leave a Delivery Notice Card in your mailbox. You have five business days to collect the item from the designated post office. A final notice is then issued, followed by a 15-day hold period before the item is returned to the sender.
Can I choose where Canada Post delivers my packages?
Yes. Canada Post’s free FlexDelivery service lets you designate a participating post office as your delivery address. You sign up online through the Canada Post website or mobile app and are assigned a unique FlexDelivery address. When an item is shipped to that address, you receive a notification and collect the parcel at your chosen post office at your convenience. This is particularly useful if you work away from home during delivery hours or want a more secure option for high-value parcels.
Will letter mail take longer to arrive?
Likely, yes, for non-urgent letter mail. As part of its transformation plan, Canada Post has relaxed delivery standards for regular letter mail from two to four business days to three to seven business days. Some letter mail now travels by ground rather than air. Urgent items and parcels are not affected by this change.
