Update: Christmas delivery cut-offs

The cut-off date for XpressPost is December 20th. The cut-off date for Expedited Parcel varies from December 12th to December 19th (Canada Post gave this unusually wide range of Expedited Parcel cutoff dates this year without explanation but we assume the December 19th date is for closer major centres like Toronto and Ottawa).

Here are some more general updates:
USA
Our least expensive ‘Standard Tracked Shipping’ option typically arrives on the shorter end of the estimated time when going to major cities but there is no delivery time guarantee (i.e. you won’t get your postage refunded if it takes longer than the estimate; some of our more expensive options do offer a such a guarantee). We’re in Montreal, close to the New York, so east coast deliveries are typically quickest.
For a real-world estimate here are the actual delivery times for a sample of parcels we sent to the USA via Standard Tracked Shipping:
- Minneapolis, MN (4 business days).
- Pueblo, CO (7 business days)
- Casper, WY (4 business days)
- Providence, RI (3 business days)
- San Francisco, CA (4 business days)
- Hoboken, NJ (2 business days)
