ATTENTION to all US customers****
Date posted: May 12, 2020
Mail and Parcels destined to all regions of the U.S.A. continue to be delivered. However, Canada Post and our partner USPS are experiencing unprecedented volume across our networks. The increased volume combined with modified processes to protect employees and the public from the spread of COVID-19 are resulting in significant delays. The cumulative delays during processing in Canada and the U.S.A. are adding 5-7 days to normal delivery times for all services. Consumers and business shippers should consider the additional delivery time when making commitments to recipients in the United States of America.

We're experiencing delays as we put safety first.
In the last few weeks, we have seen a significant increase in parcel volumes as Canadians are staying home and shopping more online. We are working hard to respond in a responsible manner. With incoming parcel volumes at Christmas levels, the important safety measures we’ve implemented in our processing facilities mean it is taking longer to process. Those measures include physical-distancing in facilities that were never designed for keeping people 2 metres apart. We continue to process and have been delivering in record numbers for this time of year, but the reality is that customers should anticipate delays.

Due to the pandemic, shipping times will be delayed as I am restricting post office visits to once every 10 business days or so...As well there are delays being experienced by both CanadaPost and USPS. This combination of factors will affect delivery times.
