FedEx 2Day

What FedEx 2Day is

FedEx 2Day is a FedEx Express service within Canada. FedEx Canada lists it as delivery in “1 to 2 business days by 5 p.m. to businesses and by 8 p.m. to residences in most metropolitan areas,” available to all provinces and territories.

FedEx also sells FedEx Economy in Canada, a slower Express service at one to three business days, Monday to Friday. ProtonShip quotes include FedEx Ground, FedEx 2Day and FedEx Standard Overnight.

FedEx 2Day delivery times

Most metropolitan areas get 2Day parcels within one or two business days, by 5 pm at a business and 8 pm at a home. Farther away, and to the territories, it takes longer: the table above shows typical business days by distance, and a live ProtonShip quote shows FedEx’s own delivery date for your addresses.

FedEx’s money-back guarantee doesn’t currently cover 2Day within Canada. Since February 12, 2026, FedEx has applied it to its overnight services only, with the rest of FedEx Express and FedEx Ground suspended until further notice.

Size limits and dimensional weight

As an Express service, 2Day takes packages up to 150 lb and 108 in long, but only up to 130 in in length plus girth. FedEx Ground takes up to 165 in, and FedEx treats Express packages over 130 in as freight that needs special arrangements. FedEx also notes that Express size and weight limits may vary by province. Packages over 48 in long, with a second-longest side over 30 in, over 105 in in length plus girth, or over 55 lb carry an additional handling charge.

Dimensional weight divides length × width × height in inches by 139 (5,000 in centimetres), after rounding each side up to the next whole inch, and FedEx rounds the result up to the next whole pound. An 18 × 14 × 10 in box works out to 18.1 lb, so a 6 lb parcel in it bills at 19 lb. Try your own box in the parcel size calculator.

Saturdays and holidays

FedEx sells Saturday Service on 2Day to most major cities in Canada, for an extra charge marked on the label when it ships. Paid Saturday options aren’t offered in ProtonShip quotes at the moment. FedEx doesn’t deliver on Sundays, and its drop boxes aren’t emptied on Saturdays, so a parcel left in one on a Saturday ships the next business day. Holiday closures are in our FedEx holiday schedule, and our FedEx weekend delivery guide covers Saturdays.

Addresses and restricted items

FedEx Express holds a parcel addressed to a PO box at a FedEx location for the recipient to collect, and its delivery commitments don’t apply, so give 2Day a street address. A rural route, concession or side road address needs the recipient’s area code and phone number. Some remote areas carry an out-of-delivery-area surcharge and homes a residential surcharge; ProtonShip’s quoted price includes the surcharges known at booking.

Within Canada, FedEx Express carries alcohol only between licensed distributors, and it prohibits cannabis, tobacco and vaping products, and firearms. Damaged or used batteries are refused. Our prohibited and restricted items page compares all five carriers.

Signature and claims

Signature options are available at an extra charge. FedEx Express takes damage claims within 21 days of delivery and loss claims within 9 months of the ship date. FedEx treats a platform that consolidates other businesses’ parcels as the shipper, so with ProtonShip you file from the shipment page in your account. Read how to file a FedEx claim.
