The pandemic's effect on our operations
We're happily—and easily—meeting our customers’ needs seven days a week. We’re constantly expanding across Canada and opening new distribution centers to better serve our customers and our fellow citizens.
Implementation of contactless deliveries

Removal of package pickup option
For everyone’s safety, pick up at our locations is not available at this time. If we haven’t been able to deliver your package after 4 attempts, please contact our Customer Service team so we can find an alternative.
Customer safety
Upon reception of any delivery, the Public Health Agency of Canada recommends the following two steps to limit the risks of propagation:
- “wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds after handling the package
- avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth, especially with unwashed hands”
