Tracked items usually arrive a bit faster, not by much, but at least if you are worried you can cover yourself that way and feel better about the lack of information on the shipping. Canada? Well, December 10th is usually a cut off date for me. I tell my clients that if they order after November 30th, they will not get their items for Christmas if they are in the states. From the end of October until mid January, you have to bank on 21 business days MINIMUM as customs gets jammed going into the states. In Canada, that's a sweet four or five days. That's during the months of February to October. takes a standard 14 business days (that does not include weekends). I'm in Ontario, but you can probably use the same time estimate for your shop. I've done this a lot over the years as it just gives me peace of mind when my worry alarms go off.Īs far as Canada post shipping times go? I've been working with them since 1999 (not exclusively here on Etsy but in my main shop elsewhere). (If it's an expensive piece and I'm worried about it getting there). Often if I'm concerned about an item? I will tuck the price of tracking into the overall price and just provide it as a gift to the buyer.

When I went in on December 27th to my post office they had outgoing parcels piled outside their warehouse door, because it wouldn't all fit in their storage room. At some post offices - (Like mine that is in a drug store) mail was not even being picked up till the 28th, but they were still collecting it while the store was open. And don't forget about New Years Day, and that CP had mail sitting around from Dec 24 till Dec 27, because they didn't go back to work till the 27th/28th. Also, I've been told that Canada Post does not consider the day you ship to be part of the time for shipping. In the former case, the physical delivery of the item is immediate, so the tracking information is very quickly added into the tracking system and the recipient can immediately verify the start of the international postal shipment.Something to keep in mind is that since December 27, there has been some crazy weather and posted delays across CP and USPS.
