Running mail with different shapes and weights
For some classes of service, Canada Post bases the price of the mailpiece on both the weight and the
shape of the item. Systems equipped with Weigh-On-The-Way (WOW) / Shape Based Rating can
weigh and measure the mailpiece as it moves through the system when a Shape Based Rating class
is selected.
1. Open the appropriate job.
2. Set or verify that the weighing method is set to Weigh-On-The-Way.
3. Select Class in the Mail Information list box and select the option for Shape Based Rating.
Select any other services required from the Extra services list box on the right of the screen.
4. Select OK.
5. Place the mail in the feeder.
6. Select Start to begin running mail.
The mailpiece feeds into the meter and gets weighed. As it moves through, the thickness, length, and
width of the envelope are measured. Depending on the weight and measurements, the appropriate
postage rate gets selected and the postage is calculated.
If an item's postage cannot be calculated because of its weight or dimension, use the attached scale
method and manually select the appropriate class.
