How the Chit Chats → Canada Post handoff works

Follow the parcel across both networks without waiting on asynchronous webhooks or losing visibility at the handoff boundary.

1. Merchant drop-off at Chit Chats branch
The seller drops the labeled parcel at a Canadian Chit Chats branch, generating an immediate branch acceptance scan.
2. Regional hub consolidation & border truck linehaul
Chit Chats sorts parcels at its regional hub and trucks US-bound freight across the border (Niagara/Buffalo, Blaine, Champlain) under CBP manifest.
3. Postal or regional courier handoff
Domestic parcels are inducted into Canada Post or Dragonfly, while US-bound parcels are inducted directly into a USPS regional sort facility.

Chit Chats to Canada Post, Dragonfly & USPS Cross-Border Handoff Tracking FAQ

Why does my USPS tracking number from a Canadian seller show Pre-Shipment for 2–3 days?
Canadian sellers using Chit Chats print a domestic USPS label in Canada. USPS only scans the barcode after Chit Chats trucks the shipment across the US border and drops it at a USPS distribution center in New York, Washington, or Michigan.
How do I see the Chit Chats branch scans before USPS or Canada Post receives the package?
Query GET /v1/track/{number}?carrier=chitchats on lastscanned to retrieve the Canadian branch acceptance and border transit scans.
