* Delivery standards are within business days for items sent between most major urban centres and are dependent upon origin and destination. All Canada Post services (including without limitation, delivery guarantees) are subject to terms and conditions. All terms and conditions can be found at www.canadapost.ca/postalguide.

SMALL PACKET – USA & INTERNATIONAL

SMALL PACKET is a service that Canada Post offers only for INTERNATIONAL shipping. There are DIFFERENT SMALL PACKET SERVICES that apply to the U.S. and to the rest of the world. SMALL PACKET SERVICES are fro packages that weigh less than 1 KILOGRAM (2.20462 LB) to the U.S., and less that 2 KILOGRAMS (4.40924 LB) when being sent elsewhere. There are also SMALL PACKET SURFACE and SMALL PACKET AIR distinctions.

SMALL PACKET is a flat rate service | NO DISTINCTION is made between two packages of the same size and weight going to Hawaii and Florida for the U.S. rates OR Scotland and Australia for INTERNATIONAL rates. Neither tracking nor delivery confirmation is available for this service. SURFACE SMALL PACKET shipping is also considerably SLOWER than EXPEDITED U.S.A. service because packages shipped this way are ONLY given space available in trucks after all EXPEDITED U.S.A. mail is loaded. No guarantee of service is offered but, delivery times to the U.S. appear to vary between eight to twenty days, whereas SURFACE SMALL PACKET to destinations other than the U.S. routinely takes months. SMALL PACKET AIR shipments to the U.S. OR elsewhere in the world are given a considerably HIGHER PRIORITY than SURFACE shipments, improving delivery time dramatically.

Canada Post offers a maximum of $100.00 CDN in insurance for SMALL PACKET at no additional charge.

SMALL PACKET SERVICES are best used when mailing inexpensive items and when delivery time are NOT of highest importance.

EXPEDITED CANADA

Delivery times can vary from one to fifteen days. EXPEDITED POST is the MOST ECONOMICAL parcel service for shipping in Canada (varies by size, weight and destinations).

EXPEDITED POST is perfect for smaller packages, but rates can vary wildly from city to city. Canada Post also assesses a FUEL SURCHARGE for all domestic packages; this additional fee can greatly inflate your cost.

Delivery Confirmation and the first $100.00 CDN of insurance are included in the cost of EXPEDITED POST at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. Remember, delivery confirmation tells you ONLY IF the package was delivered; it DOESN'T TRACE the package along its route.

EXPEDITED PARCEL USA

EXPEDITED PARCEL USA is the shipping method of choice to the U.S. for packages that EXCEED 1 KILOGRAM (2.20462 LB) in weight. According to Canada Post, delivery times can vary from six to twelve business days BUT, in reality, there are no guarantees; packages can take more than fifteen to twenty days to reach some U.S. destinations | especially Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.

Delivery confirmation and the first $100.00 CDN of insurance are included in the cost of EXPEDITED POST. NOTE: Costs vary by delivery zone.
