Coverage
1.9 million doors. Still not the whole city.
BoloPost delivers unaddressed mail on covered carrier routes in Canada. You draw the walks. We count the mailboxes inside them. The rest of the city stays out of the print run.
01
The city
A city-wide blast is the wrong unit. Most of those doors will never walk into the shop. We do not sell the whole map.
02
The neighbourhood
A catchment you can name: Riverdale, a 1 km ring, four blocks. Still too loose until it becomes walks.
03
The walk
A carrier route. Mailboxes a letter carrier already serves. That is the unit we print to, count, and deliver on.
What sits inside a shape.
An example from two Riverdale walks: 3,000 doors, split so you can keep houses, add apartments, or include shops.
Houses
1,720 · 57%
Owner-occupied and ground-level homes. The slice a listing keeps when apartments would waste the print run.
Apartments
980 · 33%
Condos and rentals, counted on their own so a café can include them and a just-listed drop can skip them.
Shops
300 · 10%
Storefronts on the same walks. Optional. Useful when the catchment is also the commercial strip.
How a shape becomes a walk.
You do not pick addresses. You pick streets. We match that drawing to carrier routes we currently serve, then print to the mailboxes on those routes.
01
Draw
Four blocks, a 1 km ring, a named neighbourhood. Loose on purpose. The walk is the tight unit, not the drawing.
02
Match
We fit the drawing to covered walks. Houses, apartments, and shops are counted apart so you can keep or skip a slice.
03
Print
The quote is format times those doors. Streets outside the matched walks stay out of the print run.
What “covered” means.
1.9 million households is an estimate of mailboxes on routes we currently serve, not a promise we can reach every address in Canada, or a named person behind each door. Coverage moves as walks are added or dropped. The number on this site is the current estimate, not a census.
Delivery is unaddressed. You never hand us a list. We print to the count, and the carrier already knows the route. If a shape sits off those walks, we cannot complete the drop. We will not quote a city we do not walk.
A map on this site is an illustration. A live quote follows the walks we currently serve when you start a delivery.
Price a covered areaSame 3,000 doors. Three different jobs.
The mix is so you can cut. Two Riverdale walks are an example, not your quote, but the split is how every shape is counted.
- Garage sale
- You would not book these two walks at all. Four blocks is enough. The mix still matters: you want ground-level neighbours, not a tower across the park.
- Café or salon
- Keep all 3,000: 1,720 houses, 980 apartments, 300 shops. Walk-ins live in all three. Skipping apartments would shrink the catchment for no reason.
- Just listed
- Keep the 1,720 houses. Skip apartments and most shops. Rentals do not come to the open house; the print run should not pay for them.
If you're outside coverage.
We will not quote a city we do not walk. Draw the streets on Start. If the shape sits off covered routes, we cannot complete the drop. Better to hear that than to print a count nobody will deliver.
Coverage is Canada, on the walks we currently serve, about 1.9 million households. It is not every postal code, and it is not a named person behind each door. Legal is how those figures should be read.
