We’re still more than two weeks away from Christmas but the clock is ticking to ensure your gifts and cards are mailed out in time.
The Canada Post holiday deadlines are out and Wednesday, December 9 is the first date on their list.
If your planning on sending Christmas cards across the country by regular mail and want to guarantee they get there on time, you need to start sending them out in the next week.
According to the mail carrier, December 9 to 16 is the window to send something by regular parcel and ensure it arrives by Christmas Day.
You have some wiggle room if you’re willing to spend more on shipping. The last chance date to ensure your items arrive on time is Monday, December 21.
“What we’re seeing with more and more Canadians shopping online this year, plus people dropping off items to send to love ones that they can’t go visit, there is an incredible amount of volume that we’re working through,” says Canada Post spokesperson John Hamilton. “We have a huge capacity but we are scraping our heads on the ceiling this Christmas.”
