Short answer
Statistics Canada's price index for couriers and messengers services in Canada, with 2019 set to 100, from table 18-10-0275-01, released September 29, 2026. The dataset holds January of each year from 2019 to 2026 plus December 2025, March 2026, April 2026 and August 2026, for the wider couriers and messengers index and the narrower couriers index.
Canada's courier price index rose from 99.1 in January 2019 to 160.5 in August 2026
Couriers and messengers services price index (NAICS 492), Canada, 2019 = 100, selected months from January 2019 to August 2026
- The index is set to 100 for 2019, so values read as prices relative to 2019.
- The dataset holds January of each year from 2019 to 2026 plus December 2025, March 2026, April 2026 and August 2026; the line joins these points and does not show the months between.
- Statistics Canada's table gives no reason for the April 2026 rise, and this chart does not offer one.
- The narrower couriers index (NAICS 4921), in the data table, was 166.8 in August 2026.

Methodology
Caveats: Couriers and messengers services price index, Canada (2019 = 100), selected months
- The dataset holds selected months, not the full monthly series. A line through these points does not show the months between.
- The index measures price changes for courier and messenger services as Statistics Canada records them. It is not a carrier's rate card or a merchant's contract rate.
- Statistics Canada's table gives no reason for the rise between March 2026 and April 2026, and Deploi offers none.
- The index is set to 100 for 2019, so values read as prices relative to 2019.
