It’s becoming a busy time of year for the folks at Canada Post.
Canada Post is now processing more than 1,200 parcels per minute at its processing plants across the country and more than 800,000 parcels are being delivered each day.
The post office says it hires additional staff to keep up with the demand.
Anick Losier says more people are now shopping online during the Christmas season and that means more parcels are being delivered.
Losier says when sending a parcel, make sure your postal code is correct and clearly visible.
If you’re re-using a box, she adds you should make sure any old markings are covered up so they are not confused with the new address.
Losier says make sure you allow seven to ten days for parcels to reach their destinations.
