For those who may have missed it, earlier this week Canada Post announced some changes to the way they complete deliveries during this time. In order to limit exposure, they've made the following changes:
They will no longer require signatures for any deliveries to the door. Instead, their delivery agents will simply leave your items in your mailbox or outside your door, as long as it's safe to do so. For any registered items or items that require proof of identity or age verification, like all cannabis products, you will receive a notice card indicating the post office where you can pick up your items by showing proof of identity. If you are sick or under self-isolation, please arrange for someone to pick-up these items in your place.
For those purchasing medical cannabis, you may want to consider purchasing a few months supply or a little more than usual to ensure you’re in good supply and minimize your need for any additional points of contact in the community. Should any current patients require temporary modifications to their medical documents to allow for larger quantities, please contact my office at 519-339-9233 to schedule a virtual appointment.
According to Leafly.ca, not all delivery companies have implemented the same rules as Canada Post. On Twitter, Purolator confirmed they no longer require signatures but that you can show a piece of government issued ID and agree to accept the packages verbally. Fed Ex and UPS appear to be following a similar approach.
