Canada Post is providing a 15-per-cent discount on the published fuel surcharge for eligible domestic parcel services from October 5, 2026 to January 3, 2027.

The temporary relief will help businesses manage shipping costs during one of the busiest times of the year. Canadians sending eligible domestic parcels will also benefit.

This initiative builds on Canada Post’s ongoing efforts to support businesses through competitive pricing, ecommerce solutions and shipping tools.

About fuel surcharges

Fuel surcharges are a standard industry practice used to reflect changes in transportation fuel costs. They have been part of Canada Post’s standard pricing practices for nearly 20 years.

Canada Post’s domestic fuel surcharge is based on the average price of diesel fuel in Canada and is adjusted weekly.
