How Long Does Cannabis Delivery Take in Canada?

Cannabis delivery in Canada typically takes 2-7 business days when shipped via Canada Post Expedited Parcel from a dispensary in Ontario. Exact delivery times depend on your province, your distance from the shipping origin, and whether the order was placed before the daily processing cutoff.

At Mohawk Medibles, we process all orders placed before 2:00 PM ET the same business day. Once your package enters the Canada Post network, delivery times are consistent and trackable.

Cannabis Delivery Times by Province

Here is a detailed breakdown of delivery timelines from our Tyendinaga facility to every province and territory:

These are business days — weekends and statutory holidays are not counted. Canada Post does not deliver on Sundays or national holidays.

Factors That Affect Delivery Speed

1. Order Processing Cutoff

At Mohawk Medibles, orders placed before 2:00 PM ET Monday through Friday ship the same business day. Orders placed after 2:00 PM ET or on weekends ship the next business day. This single factor can add a full day to your delivery timeline.

Pro tip: Place your order early in the week. A Monday morning order to Toronto typically arrives within a few business days, while a Friday afternoon order won't begin transit until the next business day.

2. Shipping Method

We ship all orders via Canada Post Expedited Parcel, a reliable, fully tracked ground parcel service delivering to every province and territory. Expedited Parcel includes:

  • Full tracking from pickup to delivery
  • Published delivery standards to every province and territory
  • Insurance coverage on every package
  • Signature confirmation where required

    • 3. Seasonal Delays

    Certain periods see higher shipping volumes:

  • Holiday season (mid-November through January) — add 1-2 days
  • Canada Day / long weekends — add 1 day for the holiday, plan ahead
  • Severe weather events — blizzards, ice storms, and flooding can delay Canada Post operations

    • 4. Delivery Address Type

  • Urban residential / apartment — standard delivery timeline
  • Rural route (RR) addresses — may add 1 day as routes run less frequently
  • PO Boxes — delivery to the post office, pickup at your convenience
  • Community mailboxes — standard timing, package card if too large for box
  • Northern / remote communities — may require air transport, adding 1-3 days

    • 5. Canada Post Service Disruptions

    Canada Post occasionally experiences labour disputes, operational slowdowns, or facility closures. During these periods:

  • We communicate delays proactively via email
  • Tracking remains active so you can see your package's progress
  • If a significant delay occurs, contact our customer service for options

    • How Tracking Works

    Every Mohawk Medibles order receives a Canada Post tracking number. Here is what to expect:

    Tracking Stages

    1. Order Confirmed — you receive an email confirmation immediately after purchase

    2. Shipped / Label Created — your package has been handed off to Canada Post (same business day if ordered before 2:00 PM ET)

    3. In Transit — the package is moving through Canada Post's sorting facilities

    4. Out for Delivery — the package is on the delivery truck in your area

    5. Delivered — the package has been delivered to your address or community mailbox

    Where to Track

  • Email notification — we send the tracking number as soon as the label is created
  • Canada Post website — enter your tracking number at canadapost-postescanada.ca
  • Canada Post app — real-time push notifications on delivery status

    • Free Shipping Policy

    Mohawk Medibles offers free shipping on all orders over $199. Orders under $199 ship at a $20 flat rate Canada-wide (all provinces & territories).

    How to Qualify for Free Shipping

  • Add $199 or more in products to your cart (before tax)
  • Free shipping applies automatically at checkout
  • No coupon code needed
  • Available to all provinces and territories, including Northern Canada

    • Is Free Shipping Slower?

    No. Free shipping uses the exact same Canada Post Expedited Parcel service as paid shipping. There is no difference in delivery speed or tracking.

    Discreet Packaging

    Every order ships in plain, unmarked packaging:

  • No Mohawk Medibles branding on the exterior
  • No cannabis-related text, logos, or imagery
  • Standard brown or white shipping box/envelope
  • Return address does not indicate cannabis
  • No smell — all products are vacuum-sealed or heat-sealed before boxing

    • Your privacy is non-negotiable. Nobody handling or receiving your package can tell what is inside.

    What Happens When Your Package Arrives

    Standard Delivery

    Most packages are delivered to your door, community mailbox, or PO Box without requiring a signature. You will see a "Delivered" status in tracking.

    Signature Required

    For high-value orders, Canada Post may require a signature. If you are not home:

  • A delivery notice card is left
  • You can pick up the package at your nearest post office
  • You can authorize a safe drop or redirect delivery via the Canada Post app

    • Missed Delivery

    If Canada Post attempts delivery and you are not available:

  • Check your mailbox for a delivery notice card
  • Retrieve the package from the post office listed on the card
  • Packages are held for 15 business days before being returned

    • Troubleshooting Delayed Orders

    "My tracking hasn't updated in 2+ days"

    Canada Post tracking can sometimes lag behind actual package movement, especially during high-volume periods. If tracking has not updated in 3+ business days:

    1. Check the Canada Post service alerts page for regional disruptions

    2. Contact Mohawk Medibles customer service — we can escalate with Canada Post

    3. Most "stuck" packages resolve within 24-48 hours of escalation

    "My package shows delivered but I don't have it"

    1. Check all potential delivery locations — front door, side door, community mailbox, with a neighbour

    2. Allow 24 hours — sometimes "delivered" scans happen at the facility before the truck run

    3. Contact Mohawk Medibles — we will work with Canada Post to locate your package

    "My package was returned to sender"

    This usually happens when:

  • The address was incorrect or incomplete
  • The package was unclaimed at the post office for 15+ days
  • Contact us and we will re-ship at no additional cost (if the return was not due to an address error)
