Patience as They Resume Operations
As Canada Post gets back on its feet after a month-long disruption, we ask for your patience as they work hard to restore normal operations. Delays may still occur through the remainder of 2024 and into January 2025, but with their proven resilience and dedication, they’re sure to bounce back stronger than ever. However, if you need any assistance, please contact our Heroic Support™ team.
On-Time Service Guarantees
Service guarantees are suspended as they ramp up operations. Once the network is stabilized, on-time service guarantees will be reinstated.
Canada Post Pickups
Scheduled pickups will start on December 19, but it will take several days to process items. Canada Post will make a best effort to collect all items at the time of the pickup; if that is not possible due to volumes or equipment availability, they will return to pick up the remaining items either the same day or next day.
On-demand pickups will not be available until Monday, December 23.
International Mail and Parcels
Canada Post will work to process a significant accumulation of international mail and parcels currently queued up to enter the postal system. Shippers should expect delays into 2025.
The postal system will start accepting new international mail on Monday, December 23.
