Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail delivery standards
See estimated delivery times for your unaddressed marketing mail
Delivery standards are estimates of the number of days* it will take for your items to be delivered once they are brought to a post office or mail processing plant.
Delivery standards are comprised of two components, transportation time and delivery cycle, which added together determine the delivery standard.
The Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail™ service delivery standards vary depending on your items’ size, weight, origin, destination and mailing options such as transportation.
If you bring your mailing to the processing location responsible for local delivery, your delivery standards are as follows.
| Category | Thickness | Weight | Delivery Cycle* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard and Oversize | up to 0.75 in. (1.91 cm) | up to 200 g (7.05 oz.) | up to 3 business days |
| up to 1 in. (2.54 cm) | up to 300 g (10.58 oz.) | up to 4 business days | |
| up to 500 g (17.64 oz.) | up to 9 business days |
* For non-letter carrier routes, the delivery cycle, in business days, is 1 day for items up to 500 g (17.64 oz.) and 3 to 5 days for items up to 1,000 g (35.3 oz.) with a maximum thickness of 1.5 in. (3.81 cm).

- Delivery standards
Delivery standards are estimates of how long it will take for the mail to be delivered from the deposit location to the mail recipient. Delivery standards will vary based on the options selected (i.e., Canada Post transportation and physical characteristics). Delivery standards are not guaranteed. Visit canadapost.ca/transportationtime for more detail.
Delivery standards are comprised of two components, transportation time and delivery cycle, which added together determine the delivery standard.
NEIGHBOURHOOD MAIL 2019 TRANSPORTATION TIMES TIMES UA OCT 2018_en
| DEFINITIONS | |
| Transportation Time | Transportation time is the number of business days required to move items from the Canada Post facility where you deposit the mailing to the Canada Post facility from which the items will be delivered. If you deposit your mailing by 11:00 a.m. at the same facility from which items will be delivered, transportation time does not apply. |
| Delivery Cycle | The delivery cycle reflects the number of business days normally required to complete delivery of mail items. The delivery cycle varies based on the thickness and weight of the item. The delivery cycle is added to the transportation time. |
|
Transportation Time |
LOCAL* | PROVINCIAL | NATIONAL** |
| 2 business days | 3 – 4 business days | 3 – 7 business days |
* Within major centres, local means the geographic area served by the main Canada Post facility of that major centre. When Neighbourhood Mail items are deposited at this facility, the transportation time applies to moving the items to the other facilities within that geographic area. In all other areas (e.g., rural), local means the specific delivery office from which the items will be delivered.
** Excludes non-major urban centres, northern regions and remote areas.
| Category | THICKNESS | WEIGHT | DELIVERY CYCLE* |
| Standard and Oversize | up to 0.75 in. (1.91 cm) | up to 200 g (7.05 oz.) | up to 3 business days |
|
up to 1 in. (2.54 cm) |
up to 300 g (10.58 oz.) | up to 4 business days | |
| up to 500 g (17.64 oz.) | up to 9 business days |
* For non-letter carrier routes, the delivery cycle, in business days, is 1 day for items up to 500 g (17.64 oz.) and 3 to 5 days for items up to 1,000 g (35.3 oz.) with a maximum thickness of 1.5 in. (3.81 cm).
Delivery standards are calculated from the day of deposit (day 0) plus the number of business days required for delivery. The number of days excludes the day of the mailing, weekend and statutory holidays. Weekend and statutory holiday deposits are considered deposited on the following day.
You can consult the residential and business delivery area counts and maps at canadapost.ca/precisiontargeter to determine which delivery mode applies to your mailing.
For detailed information, visit Delivery Standards of the Canada Postal Guide.

Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail™ Origin (Office of Deposits):
Greater Toronto Area, ON (Metro) WLPP & BMF 4565 Dixie Road Mississauga, ON L4W 1S2 SLPP
969 Eastern Ave Toronto, ON M4L 1A5 969 Eastern Ave Toronto, ON M4L 1A5 969 Eastern Ave Toronto, ON M4L 1A5
How to Calculate the Deposit Date for your Items: The grid below identifies the transportation time between locations. However, to each transportation time, you must add an extra day to account for mail preparation time once it arrives at the Letter Carrier depot. This total (transportation time plus mail preparation time) will be your total time between the Deposit Date and Delivery Start Date.
For example, if you are submitting a mailing at the Ottawa RVU for delivery in St-Bruno (J3V postal code), the transportation time is three days. Add one day for mail preparation at the Canada Post depot and you have four days between the Deposit Date and Delivery Start Date. Therefore, if you want the delivery to start on Friday, January 27, the mail will have to be deposited on Monday, January 23, four days earlier.
