For example, recalled, damaged or defective cells and battery packs, used or refurbished electronics containing lithium ion\/metal batteries packaged in an overpack, flammable liquids\/substances and corrosives to name a few. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.chitchats.com\/en\/support\/solutions\/articles\/47000426593-what-are-the-restrictions-specific-to-my-carrier-\">Learn more about these restrictions here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure shipments meet their connecting trips to their induction points, we are instituting a cut-off time of <strong>4pm MST<\/strong> at our Calgary branch and <strong>3:30pm MST <\/strong>at our Calgary North East branches. Shipments received after these cut-off times may be processed the following business day. Most Chit Chats U.S. Edge shipments will see slightly faster transit times as the change of induction allows for faster delivery to major metropolitan areas in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Notification Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know you can receive notifications regarding a specific branch?
