Four major retail brands and Canada Post are launching a same-day delivery service for online orders in the Toronto area.
The Delivered Tonight e-commerce service is a pilot project with Best Buy, Future Shop, Indigo and Walmart.
The Crown corporation provided few details in its announcement Tuesday.
However, reports in local newspapers say the service is generally aiming to deliver parcels between 5:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. if they’re ordered by 12:30 p.m.
The exact cut-off times for orders and prices will vary by retailer.
Walmart.ca will ship products ordered before 11:30 a.m. for free. The other three will charge $13.95 per order for same-day delivery, with cutoff times varying between 11 a.m. for Best Buy/Future Shop and 12:30 p.m. for Indigo.
