OXFORD COUNTY - Canada Post is asking everyone to get your Christmas shopping done early this year to avoid disappointment.
The pandemic has resulted in more and more people shopping online in 2020. This has resulted in significant parcel volumes in 2020. In a media release, Canada Post issued the following message to Canadians this year as we get ready for Christmas.
"To help Canadians avoid disappointment and support businesses across the country, we’re asking them to break with tradition and shop early this holiday season. This will help to spread out the expected demand and avoid a Christmas capacity crunch. Typically, the bulk of holiday parcels arrive in a short-term surge as Canadians do most of their online shopping within a short window close to Christmas. Even with plans to upscale, add capacity and work with customers, a traditional holiday parcel surge combined with unprecedented volumes could overwhelm our capacity to process and deliver across the country."
If you are sending a parcel to friends or loved ones this holiday season Canada Post is asking you to do so as early as possible.
