The fee for using the after hours service is $2.00 for a locker, plus the regular receiving fees. The fee is per locker, not per package. The locker fee is non-refundable on the day of the reservation.

A credit card on file with us is required to pay for the after hours service. On our website there is a 'My Account' button. Login to your account and select 'Payment.'

When you receive a package notification email from us, log in to your account, select the After Hours tab, and request which evening you would like to pick up. Make sure you have a valid credit card on file with us, if not you can enter it online as well. When we receive your request we will email you an entry code. When you arrive at Package Express, enter your code into the keypad by the after hours door. The screen will tell you which locker number your packages are in, and the front door and your locker will unlock.

Sorry but this is a web only service. We require that it be reserved through our website.

The largest locker we have is 78" x 22" x 22". Subject to availability.

There is a limit of 10 packages per evening, and each package should not be heavier than 30 lbs. Requests should be made at least 30 minutes before the store closes.

The GST and PST apply to all personal packages. If the total of your purchases is under ~ $150, they usually do not charge anything. Duty is applicable on some items, but usually not. Contact Canada Customs if you require more information.

For less than a one day absence from Canada there is no exemption but usually they allow about $150 tax/duty free. For a 24 hour absence the exemption is $200. For a 48 hour absence, the exemption is $800. These are Canadian dollars per individual.

Commercial products need to be imported on the commercial side of Canada Customs. You will need a commercial import number. (This is easy to get if you already have a GST number.) You will need to fill out an importing form on a Canada Customs computer. If you have never imported anything for business before, we recommend that you contact Canada Customs prior to importing your goods to avoid any hassles.

No. If it is for personal purposes, all you need is the receipt and declare what you have purchased. If it is for business you can still do it yourself, but a little more work is involved. We recommend that you contact Canada Customs prior to importing your goods for commercial purposes.
