Please check the Maritime Bus website for the latest updates to their hours of operations.
Chit Chats has partnered with Maritime Bus to offer clients in the Atlantic region same day or next delivery to their Dartmouth Terminal. Maritime Bus has over 30 locations in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia for you to access.
There are additional fees associated with using Maritime Bus drop spots. After paying for your Chit Chats postage, you will need to pay the Maritime Bus courier fee to get your shipments to our Bedford hub.
The Maritime Bus operates as a third party courier service to transport shipments from your home to our processing hub in Dartmouth. Our exclusive partnership provides a discounted rate to use Maritime Bus services to get packages to a Chit Chats location in these areas. In order to get a discounted rate, simply drop off your consolidated shipments at a Maritime Bus location near you for delivery to our Bedford hub. Make sure you specify that it is a Chit Chats shipment or you will not receive the preferred rate.
If you would like to pay in advance, you can pay online; however, you will not have access to the discounted rate. Ensure you select the Chit Chats only - Dartmouth Terminal service type (located in the Wyse Road Plaza). In addition, you can use the same Maritime Bus website to get a quote.
Shipments are delivered the same day to our Hub located in the Bedford Place Mall if dropped off prior to the cut-off departure times listed below.*
*All Atlantic shipments are processed on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and must comply with TSA restrictions regardless of their destination.
