Canada Post

Item rescheduled for delivery next business day

Canada Post tracking parcel

What this status means

Canada Post planned to deliver your parcel today, but it did not happen, so the delivery has been moved to the next business day. The parcel is still with Canada Post, usually at the local post office or on a delivery vehicle's route, and it has not been lost or returned.

Is my package delayed?

Yes, by one business day, but this message by itself is normal. It is a routine rescheduling, not a serious exception. Common reasons are a heavy delivery load, a route that could not be finished, or a delivery that could not be completed. Weekends and holidays do not count as business days, so the new date may be later than it first seems.

What happens next

The parcel should go out again on the next business day. The usual next step is an "out for delivery" scan, followed by a delivered message. If delivery fails again, you may see a notice card or a message that the item is waiting for pickup.

What you can do

  • Wait for the next business day and keep checking the tracking history.
  • Make sure someone can receive the parcel, or that a safe drop-off spot is available.
  • Check that the delivery address is correct in your order details.
  • If the parcel is not delivered and the status does not change after the next business day, contact Canada Post, or the seller if you bought through one. Have your tracking number and order details ready.
