Canada Post says it is making good progress in ramping up operations and stabilizing its network after a month-long postal strike was suspended earlier this week.
“Canada Post has processed the parcels held in the postal system during the strike, with all these items now flowing through our network or delivered,” wrote the corporation in an update sent out Friday afternoon.
“We expect a significant portion of these items to be delivered before Christmas.”
The Crown corporation said that some employees will be working in select cities this weekend in an attempt to deliver more items before Christmas.
“Between urban centres, Canadians should expect package delivery delays of two to three days. For packages travelling longer distances, expect delays of up to 10 days,” explained Canada Post.
“With a large, integrated network of processing plants, depots and post offices across the country, we expect to return to full-service levels and normal delivery standards in early January.”
The update added that carded items held at local post offices will remain available to pick up for 15 days from Dec. 17 and that the corporation will begin accepting new international mail on Dec. 23.
