The restoration of delivery service guarantees by Canada Post — three weeks after striking postal workers were forced back to work.
The Crown agency announced Tuesday it had caught up on most parcel delivery backlogs that had been created by the sporadic labour disruptions that began October 22.
As a result, the corporation said its normal holiday service commitments were being restored across most of Canada, except the West Coast.
The Federal Government Legislated an end to job action by postal workers on November 27 after Canada Post complained that a backlog of parcels had reached historic levels ahead of the crucial holiday shopping period.
At the time, Canada Post warned the backlog could take until the end of January to clear up.
Canada Post said it delivered about four million packages between last Friday and Monday of this week and will likely be able to deliver items ordered online in time for Christmas.
Still, the corporation warned, whether packages arrive before Christmas will also depend on where the parcels are coming from.
