Parcels must be securely packaged, preferably in a cardboard box, with the name and address of both the sender and the recipient - must be written on 2 (two) sides of a parcel.

The maximum size of parcel: either side cannot exceed 1.05 m (41"), the weight of parcel may be less than 5 kg, but the cost of shipping is as for 5 kg.
The cost of your package can be affected by the amount of space that it occupies on an aircraft, rather than the actual weight.
To determine the cost of shipping, the greater of the actual weight or dimensional weight is utilized.
The following are formulas for the dimensional weight in lbs. and kg*
* This formula only applies to AIR shipments
Dimensional Weight {lbs} = L (in) x W (in) x H (in) / 139
Dimensional Weight {kg} = L (cm) x W (cm) x H (cm) / 5000
* This formula only applies to AIR shipments
Each parcel is automatically insured for 60 CAD. If you, as the sender, waive any additional insurance, you will need to put your signature in the column "For the sender: sign here to waive additional insurance and accept 60 CAD limited liability".
The maximum amount of additional insurance for parcels is 800 CAD. Under these terms, if you opt for extra insurance, you must indicate the additional insurance amount in the "Insurance" column. Depending on the parcel contents, insurance is available for more significant amounts; customers need to coordinate larger amounts of insurance with Meest Corporation – head office.
Please note: parcels insured for over 500 CAD may be opened by Meest’s employees or agents in the presence of the sender to determine whether the parcel's contents correspond to the insured amount.
