Does canada post mail forwarding apply to ups

Canada Post's Mail Forwarding service is a specific service offered by Canada Post, and it only applies to mail and packages sent through Canada Post's network. It does not apply to packages sent through other courier services, including UPS.

If you have a UPS account or are shipping packages through UPS, you will need to use UPS's own forwarding services, such as UPS SurePost or UPS Forwarding, if you need to forward packages to a different address.

Here are some key differences between Canada Post's Mail Forwarding service and UPS's forwarding services:

  1. Coverage: Canada Post's Mail Forwarding service covers all types of mail and packages sent through Canada Post, including letters, parcels, and packages. UPS's forwarding services, on the other hand, are limited to packages sent through UPS's network.
  2. Eligibility: Canada Post's Mail Forwarding service is available to individuals and businesses with a valid Canada Post account. UPS's forwarding services are available to businesses and individuals with a valid UPS account.
  3. Fees: Canada Post's Mail Forwarding service charges a flat fee per package, which varies depending on the package's weight and dimensions. UPS's forwarding services charge a fee based on the package's weight and dimensions, as well as the distance it needs to be forwarded.
  4. Delivery: Canada Post's Mail Forwarding service delivers packages to the recipient's address, while UPS's forwarding services deliver packages to a designated UPS location, where the recipient can pick them up.

If you need to forward packages through UPS, you can contact UPS customer service to learn more about their forwarding services and to set up an account.
