How it works

Our Package Delivery and Pickup Service allows tenants to deliver packages directly to their unit and have packages picked up from their unit for delivery. A spare key to the unit is required in order to allow the courier to deliver the packages to and from the unit.

We cannot hold packages in the office, loading areas, hallways, or anywhere unattended outside of a tenant’s locked unit. This ensures your packages are kept secure and allows you to pick up your package during storage access hours, when the office may be closed. 

Please note delivery pickups can only be made during business hours and tenants are responsible for scheduling courier pickups.

 

Fees 

Pay per delivery: $10 per delivery

(All fees are subject to HST)

Your first 4 weeks of rent are non-refundable and not eligible for proration.
