Just sent a package out yesterday (Canada Post Registered Mail) and has not reached customs yet. My package contains a coin.

Scan says:

''Delivery may be delayed due to public authority Canada''

I have never seen this before.

    I read that Canada Post started adding that message/scan to pretty much all US-bound parcels at the end of last week.

    So if you ordered from Canada expect some delays. I think it has to do with the war on drugs and/or the tariffs.

    The expected delivery date was changed to 1 added day to arrive in my case. This could change still and could possibly be delayed a bit more.

    Good to know. I expect it will be a lot more delayed than 1 day though. I wonder if this also applies to letters/cards sent or just parcels?

    Unfortunate

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    It seems Canada Post is implementing additional processing steps for international shipments. Have you noticed a pattern in the delay times? Tracking inconsistencies can be frustrating, but contacting customer support for clarification might provide better insight into these changes.

    My package arrived to the USA within 3 business days (and delivered with no issues.....includes some movement during the weekend so 5 days total) so it arrived faster than usual for Registered.
