One of the most common enquiries we get from Canadian shoppers and shippers is whether Canada Post delivers on weekends.
Let's explore this question as well as a few other common questions in this article.
Canada Post is the national postal service of Canada, offering dependable letter and package delivery all around Canada. It provides various services, including letter mail, expedited parcels, and priority mail, to meet diverse delivery requirements. In addition, it also provides further services, including registered mail, tracking, and possibilities for valuables insurance.
Canada Post connects Canadians from coast to coast by ensuring prompt and secure delivery for individuals and companies through its broad network of post offices and effective transportation systems.
Canada Post delivers parcels from 9:00 AM until 8:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
Canada Post does not deliver on weekends and this may affect delivery speeds for your packages. This means that no deliveries will take place on Saturday or Sunday. Ensure that you take this into account when providing shipping estimates to your customer, i.e., estimates in business days instead of regular days.
You can drop off packages for Canada Post at various sites across Canada. One option is to drop off your parcel at your nearby Canada Post office or retail outlet. In addition, several shopping marts also provide drop-off services in partnership with Canada Post.
Note that some of these partner branches (many of which are located in Shoppers Drug Marts) are open during weekends and you may drop off your packages or purchase supplies here on weekends.
