There are many reasons that packages may be returned to Shiftly and marked as undelivered.
Please see below for a list of the most common reasons.
Item is too big for a P.O. Box
Some packages and items are too large to ship to a P.O. Box and must be shipped to a street address. The size limitations of a P.O. Box are dependent upon the courier and location of the P.O. Box. For further information, please contact the P.O. Box service/ company being used.
Incorrect Address
If the address is inaccurate or outdated, the package is typically returned to us by the carrier or the resident at the inaccurate address.
Carrier Does Not Deliver to the Address
Canada Post does not deliver to some addresses. If you also have a P.O. Box address, it's best to use that address for your Shiftly orders. Please note that Canada Post only forwards first class mail and magazines and does not forward packages. First class mail is defined as letter mail pieces including: invoices, correspondence or time sensitive printed matter.
Address Format (error)
To ensure that P.O. Box packages are routed through the proper carriers, please enter the box number as "P.O. Box" followed by the specific P.O. Box number. If you are a private mailbox holder (use a local commercial mail receiving agency), do not use "Box" for your mailbox number, instead use # or PMB. This will ensure that your address is not mistaken to be a P.O. Box, and that orders can ship to you via means other than Canada Post. If details are not entered in a recognizable format, the package may be shipped through a carrier that cannot deliver to a post office box.
Other Address Problems
Packages sent to prisons MUST be sent via Canada Post or it will be returned and marked “Address problem” or “undeliverable”. Additionally, there may be delivery restrictions associated with the items or shippers. These restrictions are determined by the penitentiary and may vary. For further information about shipping to prisons, please connect directly with the facility.
Failed Delivery Attempts
Most of our carriers make three attempts to deliver a package. Packages over a certain dollar value may require a signature. This is generally up to the discretion of the driver to determine if a signature is required or not. After three attempts, the package will be returned to Shiftly.
Damaged During Transit
If a package is damaged while on its way to you, the courier may return it to us without attempting delivery.
Refused by Recipient
If a recipient is not expecting a package, they may refuse it if they believe it was sent to them in error.
Delivery Warnings
We recommend that you not use delivery addresses of buildings that may be closed due to current regional and provincial restrictions (e.g. schools).
Guaranteed Delivery Terms
At this time, we are not able to provide a guaranteed delivery date on packages. This is something we will be working towards in the future but want to ensure that we maintain necessary safety precautions prior to introducing this. To avoid any delays in your order processing, please ensure you:
Checking on the status of my order/ delivery
You can track your orders and deliveries from Your Account >> Your Orders on shiftly.ca. If there is no tracking information, it means the package has not yet shipped. Our goal is to ship our orders as soon as we are physically able to while keeping in mind the safety of our employees. If you need an immediate update on your order, please e-mail: customerservice@shiftly.ca
Can I change the address on my order?
We highly recommend that you check the shipping address prior to submitting any orders. If there is a need to change the address on an active order, you may do so as long as the order has not yet shipped. Once the package is shipped and tracking information is available, we will not be able to change the shipping address. For any questions, please e-mail: customerservice@shiftly.ca
Remote Locations:
Some items cannot be shipped to remote locations. If an item cannot be shipped to remote locations, this information appears on the product detail page. Remote locations are postal codes that are difficult to serve.
Examples are:
International Shipping:
At this time, we do not offer international shipping.

Free Shipping:
Orders over $75 before taxes are eligible for free shipping.
Canada Post Pickup Options:
The Canada Post pickup points delivery option allows you to choose a Canada Post retail location as a shipping destination for your order instead of having a package delivery to your home or business.

To retrieve your package, you'll need the message from Shiftly (either printed out or displayed on your phone) and identification that matches the name that you selected during checkout. The identification should be a government-issued photo ID with the same address as the billing address on the original order.
Someone living at the same address may pick up the package on your behalf. If you want to authorize someone not living at the same address to pick up the item, you can print and complete the form attached to the delivery notice. The authorized individual should present the completed form along with a government-issued photo ID.
Note: All packages must be picked up from Canada Post pickup points within 15 calendar days. If your package isn't picked up within that time frame, it will be returned to Shiftly and a refund will be issued.
