Are carriers open today?

Yes. Canada Post delivers parcels to homes from 9 am until as late as 8 pm, and to businesses from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 10: Canada Post, Purolator, UPS and FedEx are open across Canada; UniUni is open in every province it serves.

Post office hours vary by location. Many post offices are counters inside pharmacies and other stores, and Canada Post says those keep the hours of the business they’re in, so one can be open on a holiday when nothing is collected or delivered. Canada Post’s Find a post office tool lists each one’s hours.

Some do, in some places. Canada Post delivers parcels on Saturday only in its weekend delivery areas around Toronto, Ottawa and Montréal, and only where Saturday is the weekend day it has set for the area. Everywhere else it delivers Monday to Friday. PO boxes stay on weekdays. Purolator picks up and delivers on Saturdays only with Saturday Service, a paid option on Purolator Express, to delivery points eligible for it. Parcels left in a Purolator drop box don't qualify. UPS Standard delivers to homes on Saturdays in major metro areas across Canada; its 2024 map named the Greater Toronto Area, Montréal and Laval, Calgary and Greater Vancouver. Elsewhere, Saturday pickups and deliveries are options a shipper arranges and pays for. FedEx Ground delivers to homes on Saturdays in major urban centres in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan. FedEx Express offers Saturday Service in most major cities as a paid option. FedEx drop boxes aren't emptied on Saturdays. UniUni publishes no weekend schedule. It advertises seven-day service in major metropolitan areas without saying which days it delivers where.

Everywhere else it delivers Monday to Friday. PO boxes stay on weekdays. Purolator has no standard Sunday pickup or delivery. UPS has no pickups or deliveries on Sundays. Its UPS Express Critical service is the one exception. FedEx has no regular Sunday pickup or delivery in Canada. UniUni publishes no weekend schedule.

Open means the carrier works that day. A parcel arrives when its service’s transit time says, counted in business days from pickup, and a holiday where it was sent from or where it’s going pushes that back. Our delivery time calculator counts each carrier’s holidays province by province.
