Some Toronto-area Canada Post depots have been overwhelmed with booming demand for parcels, delaying pickups by at least a day.

But "storage space has been overwhelmed in the short term with parcels waiting for pickup," causing pickups to be backed up by at least a day.

"Parcels are picked up every day so this can be short term.
