Modifications to surcharges for bulky items during peak season Canada Post is adjusting three existing surcharges for the 2020 holiday season to address additional handling requirements for larger, bulkier items. These changes will be in effect from November 9, 2020 to January 10, 2021 inclusive. Oversize and Unpackaged Items and Out-of-spec Items: Surcharges for Oversize and Unpackaged items will increase to $20 from $12. Note that if an item is both Oversize and Unpackaged, the surcharge will only apply once.
The existing surcharge for items that exceed Canada Post’s size or weight specification (out-of-spec) will be adjusted to $300 from $125. This surcharge only applies to items with an actual weight greater than 30 kg, and/or one side greater than 2 m, and/or length + girth greater than 3 m.
New limited quantity label If you ship dangerous goods using the Limited Quantities Exemption, note that Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations have been updated. As of January 1, 2021, the black and white diamond safety mark will be the only acceptable limited quantity identifier. For more information, please refer to the regulations on the Government of Canada Justice Laws
Reminder: Changes to parcel service standards Canada Post continues to see significantly increased parcel volumes as Canadians adopt different shopping behaviours during COVID-19. To help manage these high parcel volumes, we have adjusted our service standards to better reflect the current situation and manage expectations. Our on-time guarantee remains suspended for all services. While we remain committed to providing timely and reliable service, given the unpredictability of the COVID-19 situation, delivery standards remain subject to change.
