CanadaPost went on strike again as of Friday May 23. This was clearly coming. The issues from the last strike were never resolved and employees were just forced to return to work by the federal government.
This strike is much differnt that the last one. This time around, at least for now… deliveries are being processed but no overtime work is being done. This means that there are going to be inevitable delays, although I haven’t yet seen any serious impacts to delivery times.
Please consider this when placing your orders. CanadaPost is the only viable choice in my area. Couriers like UPS and Fedex exist but the prices are up to 500% more for a similar CanadaPost shipment, and low cost alternatives service only the big metropolitan regions.
I’ll make updates here as the situation develops. As always, thank you for your patience.
