Lettershop Services-Central Stores is specifically designed to provide clients with everything they require for successful direct mail campaigns. Our state-of-the-art lettershop equipment and quality control production flow help us minimize production time and maximize your investment. COVID-19 has increased the need to move larger volumes of product and information to students and other university associates now learning and/or working from off-campus settings. Lettershop Services can facilitate packaging and mailing/shipping needs, at a reasonable cost. Email csgenasys for further information.
All outgoing courier packages, boxes, crates and envelopes must now have complete and full addresses, with telephone numbers.
The courier business has changed recently and with cost being a major concern with regards to courier rates, we must change too. All courier companies are trying to meet their customers demands for fast and reliable service. To do this they must be given the appropriate information, so that they can fulfill their commitment.
This includes:
1. Company and/or recipient name
2. Street address and #
3. Postal code and/or Zip
4. Telephone number
5. Email address
***** No PO box numbers - outside of Canada!!!*****
Any Post Office Box numbers within Canada will be sent by Priority Courier (Canada Post- courier service). No Post Office Box numbers will be sent by courier to the USA or any International destinations. These pieces should be sent via regular mail (Mailroom E.C.H.), where no barcoded ship ticket is required.
This means more work on your part and I realize how busy you are. However, when you pay for a courier service, you expect a quick and efficient delivery. Together we can achieve this outcome and maintain affordable cost saving rates.
A Waterloo electonically generated barcoded Ship ticket must be printed and accompany all goods leaving the campus. In order to expedite the shipping process, please ensure that the following information is included on the Agile form:

Materials derived from any animal or produced with animal products are extracts of microorganisms are potentially subject to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations and must be cleared by USDA inspectors at the port of arrival before entry into the United States is authorized. A USDA permit is required for any material that may pose a risk of introducing epizootic livestock diseases exotic to the United States. However, recombinant non-pathogenic bacteria/yeasts (such as E. coli & Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and their products that are not related to livestock or avian species or disease causing agents and that do not contain animal products such as albumin or serums may be brought into the country without USDA veterinary restrictions.

For recombinant products, a declaration with the shipment confirming that the material is produced by recombinant microbial expression (vector must not be considered pathogenic for livestock* or avian species) and that the organism does not contain genes or express antigens of livestock or poultry disease agents.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
