Alternate Delivery Study

This report was commissioned by Magazines Canada to explore the requirements magazine publishers would have of alternate delivery service providers to provide doorstep delivery to subscribers. The study outlines the elements of a new model which would involve multiple delivery contractors in place of a single delivery system (Canada Post). The proposed model would rely on warehouse/sortation centres used by multiple publishers and printers, and would involve changes to how data is processed by fulfillment houses. It would also introduce a system for confirmation of delivery December 3, 2015.
