Canada Post provides holiday delivery service update
Highlights:
Lettermail
As we have communicated earlier, we expect to be current on holiday letter mail processing and delivery prior to Christmas.
Parcels
Significant and uneven parcel backlogs persist across the country and continue to challenge our operations as heavy holiday parcel volumes arrive daily. Understanding the central role we play in delivering the holidays for Canadians and Canadian retailers, it is our priority to deliver as much as possible before Christmas. However, existing backlogs, along with other complicating factors such as protest blockades at our facilities and any potential severe winter weather events, means delivery will be hampered and unpredictable through to January.
International incoming
The embargo on items arriving from International Posts was lifted on November 27th. Based on current incoming volumes and discussions with our international partners, we now expect to receive roughly half the daily volumes we had projected this holiday season.
