CanadaPost went on strike as of Friday Nov 15. Packages are no longer being moved, so everything in the system so far is stuck in its present location. If you have ordered from me just before the week of Nov 11, please accept my apologies. Your stuff will be delayed. There is nothing I can do about this at the moment.
There are no other viable shipping options in my area. There is UPS and Fedex but the prices are 3x-5x for a similar CanadaPost shipment.
My solution right now is to cross the border into the US and send with USPS. Normally this would be no big deal, but as a small business I have follow commercial procedures. This requires a manifest and import forms to be filled out, and the crossing must be done as a commercial vehicle, which could mean waiting in line for hours with the rest of the trucks. In addition there are commercial fees which I’m really trying to avoid. I can only do this once a week at most.
So… Please hold off on ordering if you expect to get your items fast. If you don’t mind waiting a week or more, go ahead and order. Normally these strikes don’t last this long but the last one in 2019 I think, lasted about 4-5 weeks.
