BC Delivery Service Alert

Devastating flooding, mudslides, and strong winds in British Columbia (BC) have prompted officials to declare a provincial state of emergency.  Many roads continue to be closed or limited to one-lane traffic while crews are working to reopen roads from the lower mainland to the interior and north.  The following couriers have adjusted their shipping protocols:

UPS (Last Updated 11/18/2021; 2:25)

As we continue to work with local officials, all domestic UPS Standard pick-up and delivery service to, within and from the province, as well as UPS On-Call Pickup service in BC, is currently suspended.

UPS Premium Air service, as well as international volume into and out of the province will continue and may experience delays.  As we attempt delivery of volume currently within the province, all regular scheduled pickups will continue for domestic and international Premium Air service.

Domestic UPS Standard shipments already tendered to UPS destined to BC will be held at a UPS facility to be processed once access is available however, delays should be expected as we clear any backlog that may occur.
