Mail from British North America could be paid to the lines, or fully prepaid. Mail from the United States could be entirely unpaid, or be paid to the lines. Boston and St. John were the initial exchange offices, until the post office in St. Andrews, New Brunswick was opened in 1817, in order to exchange mail with Robbinston, Maine.
